How to translate KeyCode to work at Keys.SendKey

is there a way to Translate a KeyCode in that way ,which will work if i use it at Keys.Sendkey(); 

private void Manager_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
      Keys.SendKey(e.KeyCode.toString());
}

i tried that way and it wont work ,so is there a way to do that dynamically.

It works great!

    public string ToString(Keys key)
    {
        switch (key)
        {
            case Keys.Back:
                return "{BACKSPACE}";
            case Keys.Separator:
                return "{BREAK}";
            case Keys.CapsLock:
                return "{CAPSLOCK}";
            case Keys.Delete:
                return "{DELETE}";
            case Keys.Down:

            case Keys.End:

Well i don't know a better what but this ,you should capture all keys on KeyDown event and send them as String in that format from that web site.

Keys is the enumeration and does not contain a SendKey method. You can however do something like this:

SendKeys.Send(Keys.A.ToString());

You can also send multiple keys by using string concatenation:

SendKeys.Send(Keys.A.ToString() + Keys.B.ToString());

Similary, this code works for me:

private void departmentList_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    Keys key = e.KeyCode;
    SendKeys.Send(key.ToString());
}

Also check out this question: SendKeys::Send, going berserk. What is your goal by doing this, if I might ask?
