Einar,
You don't need the conversion:

switch(e.KeyChar)
case (char)(Keys.ControlKey & Keys.V):

Should do.
Update: It doesn't.
I'm afraid you should know the code it produces (22):

switch(e.KeyChar)
case (char)22:

However case in .Net is not as flexible as the one in VFP. Probably a series of if() would do better. ie:

if (Control.ModifierKeys == Keys.Control && e.KeyChar == 22)
{
  e.Handled = true;
  ((Control)sender).Text = "Ctrl+V pressed";
}

>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.
