How can I create an event that detects when the user has pressed the enter key while in a textbox?? I have searched around, but the only example I found were very complicated and proprietary.

Handle the OnKeyDown event and then test if the textbox is the active control:

TextBox textBox = this.ActiveControl as TextBox;
if(textBox == null){return;}
else if(textBox == myTextbox){//do something}

hth.

Ok, that helps, but now how do I tell if the key that was pressed was the enter key?

In the EventHandler for the KeyDown event you would do something like:

if(e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter){//do something}
else{//do something else}
