creating key listeners

Ok, first off, is this in a windows form? If so, the windows code needs something like: (this is something I'm working on) this.KeyPress += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(this.Form1_KeyPress); And the method would be: private void Form1_KeyPress(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyChar=='1') playerdata.SelectVulcan(); if (e.KeyChar=='2') playerdata.SelectPlasma(); } Now that's an example, obviously you don't want the "one" key, but you see what how I'm getting there. if you want, there is even a special casts of up, right, left, and down. Alternatively, you can access on key down, and on key up, so that would enable them to HOLD keys down. Or is this more of a console game?
