Stop "ding" when pressing Enter? (e.SuppressKeyPress is not recognized)

I've already read through this thread: Stop the 'Ding' when pressing Enter

I'm having no luck with e.SuppressKeyPress. I get an error "'KeyPressEventArgs' does not contain a definition for 'SuppressKeyPress' ..."

I am VERY VERY VERY VERY new to this. I cannot understate this enough. Please explain like I'm 5 years old. Sorry..

I'm using Visual Studio Express 2015 to create a Windows Form with C#.net.

Here is my code:

    private void answer_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.KeyChar == (char)ConsoleKey.Enter)
        {
            CheckAnswer();
        }
    }

I tried putting e.SuppressKeyPress = true; after my CheckAnswer(); function but I get red squigglies indicating it doesn't know what that is.

Why?

I've had no formal training in using C#.net and I'm missing the foundation of how this is all supposed to work which is messing me up I think. :(

You are referring to the `KeyDown`/`KeyUp` events. The `KeyEventArgs` parameter has that property: `if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter) e.SuppressKeyPress = true;` – Jimi Nov 24 '18 at 03:25

You are using the `Key_Press` event. Try using the `Key_Down` Event. – preciousbetine Nov 24 '18 at 03:41
`KeyDown` + `e.SuppressKeyPress = true; e.Handled = true;` – TaW Nov 24 '18 at 08:08
You can un-ding it with KeyPress as well, just takes e.Handled = true. – Hans Passant Nov 24 '18 at 08:58
Thank you! @HansPassant that worked easily lol. – irisshootsface Nov 25 '18 at 21:43
