I found that I can use Convert.ToInt32() on e.KeyChar and that returns 22 (like Eric said) for ctrl+v. The only problem is that I can check for that in the switch statement because you can only switch on one variable type at a time , and I am switching on a char type. I can either change my switch to switch on an int or add an additional if to check if Convert.ToInt32(e.KeyChar) is equal to 22. I think the rest of tis will be easy.

Thank you both for taking the tie to help me.
