You are mixing class libraries, don't use Windows Forms classes in a WPF project. Make it look like this:

  public partial class Window1 : Window {
    public Window1() {
      InitializeComponent();
      this.textBox1.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(textBox1_KeyDown);
    }

    private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) {
      if (e.Key == Key.Enter) {
        MessageBox.Show("Enter!");
        e.Handled = true;
      }
    }
  }
