Minimizing all open windows in C#

Question

I saw this C++ code on a forum which minimizes all open windows

#define MIN_ALL        419
#define MIN_ALL_UNDO   416

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{

A similar result can be achieved by sending these keyboard events to bring the Taskbar popup menu and send it the letter "M":

public class DesktopHelper
{
    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    static extern void keybd_event(byte bVk, byte bScan, uint dwFlags, int dwExtraInfo);

    /// 

    /// Shows the desktop.
    /// 
    public static void ShowDesktop()
    {
        keybd_event(0x5B, 0, 0, 0);
        keybd_event(0x4D, 0, 0, 0);
        keybd_event(0x5B, 0, 0x2, 0);
    }
}
