KeyPress is the right one and how do i know if the enter button was

First of all I don't understand which button? Is it the <Enter> Button
on the keyboard or is it a button on the form?
if it's on the keybrd;

this can help you :

Private Sub detectenter(ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs)
       Dim a As Char = e.KeyChar
       Dim s As Object = a.GetHashCode
       If s = 851981 Then 'if the pressed key is enter
        messagebox.show("Enter pressed")
       End If
   End Sub

  Private Sub TxtChatMain_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
       detectenter(e)
   End Sub
