Killing Application With Escape Key in .NET C#


So, you are a C# weenie and you want to kill your Forms Application by hitting the escape key.  It's as easy as pie.

In the forms load method, put in the following two lines:

this.KeyPreview = true;
this.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(Form1_KeyDown);

Then create the KeyDown method:

private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
             if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Escape)
             {
                 Application.Exit();
             }
        } 

Hope this helps.
