If you use the KeyPress event, the event signature has a KeyPressEventArgs with a KeyChar member that gives you the character for the numberpad keys. You can do a TryParse on that to figure out if its a number or not.

private void Form1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    int i;
    if (int.TryParse(e.KeyChar.ToString(), out i))
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Number");
    }
}
