currently I'm trying to retrieve all the groups that is in my sharepoint site. After which, I need to know which users are in the group and the level of site permission for each user. I'm using WSS 3.0 , developing in C# (visual studio 2008). Help really needed as I'm still new in this area. Thanks in advance!

If you are looking for code to work for using client object model, you may review the following links.

Groups can be found like:

SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite("site url");
SPWeb site = siteCollection.OpenWeb();

foreach(SPGroup group in site.Groups){
  Console.WriteLine(group.Name);

   foreach(SPUser u in group.Users){
         //will give you users in group, you can then grab the roles of the user
   }
}

To find what permissions a role has:

SPSite oSiteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
using(SPWeb oWebsite = oSiteCollection.AllWebs["Site_Name"])
{
    SPMember oMember = oWebsite.Roles["Role_Name"];
    oWebsite.Permissions[oMember].PermissionMask = 
        SPRights.ManageLists | SPRights.ManageListPermissions;
}

The permissions matrix can be found here
