Can you help me to transfer that code to C#?

HWND Notepad = FindWindowEx( GetDesktopWindow( ), 0, "Notepad", 0 );

SendMessage( GetDlgItem( Notepad, MB_TYPEMASK ), WM_SETTEXT, 0, (LPARAM)"Hello Notepad, what's up?" );

Thank you in advance

UPDATE:
I want to send key presses to background window.
I don’t want to use SendKeys.Send because I want that window to be in background.
SendKeys requires that window is active.

    As far as I know such a low level funcionality is not available in WinForms, hence you should call WinApi via pinvoke which will result in almost literal rewrite of this code to c#

    Start here

    GetDlgItem
    GetDesktopWindow
    FindWindowEx
