How to convert KeyEventArgs.KeyCode to what the keyboard is mapped to

[AdrianH]

On a KeyDown event, I need to determine what the intended character was to be placed. How does one do this? It is driving me crazy as I do not want to use shift to determine how to map the numbers/symbols since this can change from language to language, keyboard to keyboard. There MUST be some function in Windoze .NET library to do this as to not have such a function would be ludicrous.

Anyone know what function is needed?

Thanks,

Answer is to use the KeyPress not the KeyUp or KeyDown event. KeyPress will give out the key that was pressed including if a deadkey is used (used to add accents to letters).
