C# KeyEventArgs - how to quickly determine if letter/number presse

[=?Utf-8?B?cGFucGF3ZWw=?=]

Is there a way to quickly determine if the key pressed was from 'A'-'Z' or
'0'-'9' range?

I really don't like to write switch with every Keys.A, Keys.B, etc key listed

Why don't you convert the pressed key into ASCII representation and then
verify if it matches?

Thanks, but to do that I need to get the Char pressed. The pressed key is an
enumerated type Keys (from KeyEventArgs). I could not find a method to
convert it to Char.

Help, please...

OK, here is how I did it:

if ( ( ( e.KeyCode >= Keys.A && e.KeyCode <= Keys.Z ) ||
( e.KeyCode >= Keys.D0 && e.KeyCode <= Keys.D9 ) ||
( e.KeyCode >= Keys.NumPad0 && e.KeyCode <= Keys.NumPad9 ) )

However that works on the assumption than Keys enumeration of A-Z and 0-9
are in the continuous range, which makes sense but is not spelled out
anywhere...
