How to sense ESC was pressed

I have a long running loop coded in VB2005 that I want to exit from/terminate when the user presses the ESC key in a windows forms application.

Can someone tell me how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Girish

you need to handle the EscKey or keycode 27 in the form keydown event.
