Based on one of the answers mentioned here, I would suggest You to use TextInput (or PreviewTextInput) event to get the letter pressed. It should give You correct values for both upper and lower case letters.

In order to test it, You can use code similar to this one:

private void Window_PreviewTextInput(object sender, TextCompositionEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine(String.Format("letter: {0} (charcode: {1})", e.TextComposition.Text, (int)Convert.ToChar(e.TextComposition.Text)));
}

Let me know if this helps or if You have any problems when using this solution.
