Where can I find documentation on the C# MSTSCLib, specifically the MsRdpClient classes?

I would like to figure out how to create a C# Remote Desktop client and the documentation on the internet varies from sparse to non-existent. Or if you have this information, please let me know. I will compile as much info as possible and post it up somewhere

I'd like to learn the following information:

  1. How do I connect programatically to a remote desktop server? What client class should I use? There are like 20 of them.
  2. I sort of know that you can set Server and Username directly. How do I set the password securely?
  3. Why doesn't the following code work?

    MsRdpClient7 rdc = new MSTSCLib.MsRdpClient7();
    rdc.Server = "fake.bogus.com";
    rdc.UserName = "JChen";
    rdc.AdvancedSettings2.ClearTextPassword = "insecure";
    rdc.Connect();
    
  4. What is the full API for the RDP client? What kinds of information can I get from it?

If you've been working with RDP in C#, please help. You'll be providing a huge service to all the people who need to learn this API and more importantly, to me :-)

Thanks again!

EDIT: To clarify a bit, I'm trying to create a console RDP client that can both send data to and receive data from the RDP server. I've already done a Forms RDP client using the AxMsTscAxNotSafeForScripting type.

MSDN has documentation for the Remote Desktop ActiveX Control Interface
