title: How do you get the ESC key to close a dialog in Winforms?
body: <p>Often when using software these days, the ESC key will close a dialog without persisting any changes I've made. I like that especially because even though the dialog may have a cancel button on it, I don't necessarily want to reach for the mouse or tab over to the cancel button. It's a nice clean way of saying "Oops, didn't meant to do that!" to the software. In fact, I find I get annoyed with software that doesn't implement this feature and I can't believe that it's not already done under the hood of Winforms - seems intuitive to me...</p>
  
  <p>I have looked at hooking into the Form KeyPress event, or trying to simulate a "Cancel" DialogResult etc. There seem to be a number of ways of going about this...</p>
  
  <p>So the question is: What is the cleanest way of going about binding the ESC key to close the dialog without saving any changes?</p>
  
  <p>Any help from those that have experience in this is much appreciated!</p>
