check keycode for the keypressed.Use case statements here's the sample

VB

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
    ' Sets Handled to true to prevent other controls from
    ' receiving the key if an arrow key was pressed
    Dim bHandled As Boolean = False
    Select Case e.KeyCode
        Case Keys.Right
            'do stuff
            e.Handled = True
        Case Keys.Left
            'do other stuff
            e.Handled = True
        Case Keys.Up
            'do more stuff
            e.Handled = True
        Case Keys.Down
            'do more stuff
            e.Handled = True
    End Select
End Sub
