Windows Form Calculator - Numpad Keys For Input

I am currently in the middle of learning c# for my job, I have been trying some starter projects and i decided to make a calculator, I have all of the functions of a simple calculator working, however i can not get the numpad keys to work with a keypress event or a keydown event, I am wondering if someone can help me in some detail, i am wanting to sett all of the numpad keys to the corrspondings ones on the calculator, here is the code i have tried for the keypress event and i have also tried this with numpad lock on and off.

 private void n1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.KeyChar = '1')
        {
            e.Handled = true;
            n1.PerformClick();

        }

    }

Just a quick edit, i have tried to follow MSDN example and include the following

private void n1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) {

        if (e.KeyCode < Keys.D0 || e.KeyCode > Keys.D9)
        {
            if (e.KeyCode < Keys.NumPad0 || e.KeyCode > Keys.NumPad9)
            {
                nonNumberEntered = true;
            }
        }

And still no success

Try using a comparison instead of assigning.

Check what the equals operator should be.

if (e.KeyChar == '1')

(You won't be the last person to fall down that particular hole, trust me....)

Refer to MSDN Key Enum page for reference.

e.g. Keys.NumPad0 is on keypad, Keys.D0 is the number key. So you want to do something like this

if (e.KeyCode == Keys.NumPad0 || e.KeyCode == Keys.D0)

And also you probably want to map the operators, e.g. Keys.Add for your add.
