[Gtk-sharp-list] No keypress event raised when a, b, c or any other normal character key is pressed.IS IT A BUG IN GTK#???

[True Friend]

Hi List
I am trying to figure out a way to hack keyboard input and finally I've
found a similar thing in py_gtk. The method is given below.-
_________________________________
def on_TextView_key_press(self, widget,event):
        keycode = event.hardware_keycode
        self.undo_manager.cur_keyval = event.keyval

        # Skip if Ctrl or Alt are pressed
        if ('GDK_CONTROL_MASK' in event.state.value_names) \
            or ('GDK_MOD1_MASK' in event.state.value_names):
                return False

        if (not self.IsLangDefault):
            try:
                # get char from the mapping
                if ('GDK_SHIFT_MASK' in event.state.value_names) or \
                    ('GDK_LOCK_MASK' in event.state.value_names):
                    new_char = self.LayManager.dict_trans[keycode][1]
                else:
                    new_char = self.LayManager.dict_trans[keycode][0]
                self.textbuffer.delete_selection(True,
self.textview.get_editable())
                self.textbuffer.insert_interactive_at_cursor(new_char,
self.textview.get_editable())
            except :
                # return unchanged keyval for unrecognized keystrokes
                return False
            # insert the new char instead
            return True
        else:
            return False
_______________________________________________
Exactly the same thing I am trying to do in c# with gtk. So I am
exprerimenting to get values of keys in another widget.
I only want to ask why I am unable to catch keypress events raised by normal
keys (a, b, c, d, y, 1, 2 etc etc). Modifier keys when pressed raise the
event and I get the output as well. You can see the code how I am doing
this.
protected virtual void OnTextview1KeyPressEvent (object o,
Gtk.KeyPressEventArgs args)
    {
        char key = (char)args.Event.Key;
        entry1.Text = key.ToString();
    }
There are only two widgets on window. The keypress event is raised in
textview1 and its output is in entry1. I am getting output (basically
strange characters) when I press shift, alt, ctrl or caps lock or num lock
but normal keys are not raising events. Where I am wrong plz point out so I
can correct the code??
OR IT IS A BUG IN GTK#??????
Regards
