Weird, here happens the same, it said it's not recignized, even when MSND
says it's valid.
Workaround: just use the value:
if e.KeyChar == (char)27 )

Where is this in MSDN?
I'm looking at C# language reference - "2.4.4.4 Character literals"
and here are the escape codes:
\' \" \\ \0 \a \b \f \n \r \t \v
I don't see \e. What is it anyways?

Of course this will work. Putting @ infront of a string means that you are
not going to use escape sequences, so your string contains two characters -
\ and e.
sCal.ToCharArray()[0]) returns \ in this case which is not \e, whatever this
esc char must be.

Hello,
The actual escape sequence characters are as follows...
\b
Matches a backspace
\t
Matches a tab
\r
Matches a carriage return
\v
Matches a vertical tab
\f
Matches a form feed
\n
Matches a new line
\e
Matches an escape
\040
Matches an ASCII character as octal (up to three digits);
\x20
Matches an ASCII character using hexadecimal representation (exactly
two digits).
\cC
Matches an ASCII control character; for example, \cC is control-C.
\u0020
Matches a Unicode character using hexadecimal representation (exactly
four digits).

Ignacio,
As you correctly stated these are Regular Expression's escape sequences.
They have nothing to do with the C# language.
For example VB.NET, as far as I know, doesn't support escape seqs at all.
We can't just look for any document that just lists escape characters.
