Question

My event handler looks like this:

private void List_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)

I saw on a msdn thread, the following solution:

if(e.KeyCode == Keys.Delete)

But, in this version of .net, the KeyPressEventArgs doesn’t have a KeyCode property. How should I handle the delete in my case?

Answer 1

You want the KeyDown event instead:

private void List_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.KeyCode == Keys.Delete)
    {
        // your delete code goes here
    }
}

This isn’t limited to just .NET 2.0, in all .NET versions KeyPressEventArgs does not have a .KeyCode see: MSDN, so you have to use KeyDown instead.
