Do not use GetLastError with the return values of this function.
I tried to use this to send files to the recycle bin. It failed (Marshal.GetLastWin32Error was 6, invalid handle) and sometimes threw a NullReferenceException. To make it work I did the following;
public IntPtr pFrom;
public IntPtr pTo;
In my case I only needed pTo so I just added a null byte to the end and used Marshal.StringToHGlobalUni() to set the value
string path = @"c:\one\file.txt";
info.pTo = Marshal.StringToHGlobalUni(path + '\0');
