Solution 1

Add a button with the property IsCancel = true. If you press ESCAPE the form closes.

Solution 2

Subclass a Windows Form.
Catch the keypress event and check for the ESC key or add a button as described above.
Inherit all your forms from this new Form instead of the standard Windows Form.

Change MyForm : Form

to

MyForm : SubclassedForm
