How to test if the user pressed the Enter Key?

Question

Dear All I have a C# program and I have an on KeyPress event. I want to test the value of the key and find out if it is the Enter key. My code is like this: public viod MyKeyPress(KeyPressEventArgs e) { if(e.KeyChar ) }

You can display the value of the key pressed with this line: MessageBox .Show( The value of the key pressed is  + (( int )e.KeyChar).ToString()); Notie that you need to cast e.KeyChar to 'int' otherwise it will just display as the character itself if it is printable. Here's a table showing the ASCII values of the various keys (C# uses Unicode but the first 128 values are the same). You'll notice that 'carriage return' corresponds to 13: http://www.asciitable.com/

thanks but if I want to display the char code? For example when the enter key is pressed the value 13 is displayed when the shift key is pressed another value is displayed I mean how do u get the value of the key (13 is for enter)? Thank you

To test for the enter key you can use: if (e.KeyChar == (char)13) { // do something }
