Hi,
How to typecast this KeyPress?

C#

if (e.eyChar = Keys.S)
            {
                timer1.Stop();
            }

Error:

MSIL

Error   1   Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Windows.Forms.Keys' to 'char'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

You dropped a K and an = in your code, see the answer below for a working code and cast op.

This should do the trick. Don't forget the '==' instead of your '=' ;)

if (e.KeyChar == (char)Keys.S)
{
}
