Creating a keyboard shortcut on windows form

Hi
What is the best why to create a custom keyboard shortcut (eg alt-a) on a
..Net form using C#?
Thanks

Esemi,

You can always create a menu item and then set the Shortcut property to
a key combination which you want the shortcut to be.

Hope this helps.
