Link Keyboard Shortcut to Button

How do I link a keyboard shortcut to a button on a form? I have added shortcuts to menu items-that is very straightforward-but for some reason, I cannot find information on how to add the shortcut to a button. Thanks.

Abhijit's answer is correct. if you want to assign function keys, you'll have to set the Form's KeyPreview property to true and handle the Form's KeyPress or KeyDown events and call the PerformClick method (and Focus if you need it) of the button you want pressed.

Is there a symbol that can be used for Ctrl + C instead of Alt + C? Thansk.
