Sample Code:

class Test
{
    void Test()
    {
    INPUT structInput;
    structInput = new INPUT();
    structInput.type = Win32Consts.INPUT_KEYBOARD;

    // Key down shift, ctrl, and/or alt
    structInput.ki.wScan = 0;
    structInput.ki.time = 0;
    structInput.ki.dwFlags = 0;
    structInput.ki.dwExtraInfo = Win32.GetMessageExtraInfo();
    if (Shift)
    {
        structInput.ki.wVk = (ushort)VK.SHIFT;
        intReturn = Win32.SendInput(1, ref structInput, (UInt32)sizeof(INPUT));
    }
    if (Ctrl)
    {
        structInput.ki.wVk = (ushort)VK.CONTROL;
        intReturn = Win32.SendInput(1, ref structInput, (UInt32)sizeof(INPUT));
    }
    if (Alt)
    {
        structInput.ki.wVk = (ushort)VK.MENU;
        intReturn = Win32.SendInput(1, ref structInput, (UInt32)sizeof(INPUT));
    }
    if (Win)
    {
        structInput.ki.wVk = (ushort)VK.LWIN;
        intReturn = Win32.SendInput(1, ref structInput, (UInt32)sizeof(INPUT));
    }
    // Key down the actual key-code
    structInput.ki.wVk = vk;
    intReturn = Win32.SendInput(1, ref structInput, (UInt32)sizeof(INPUT));
    // Key up the actual key-code
