Do you know how to make this easier:

byte KeyToDigit(char chr)

{

    for (byte i = 1; i < 10; i++)

        if (i.ToString().ToCharArray()[0] == chr)

            return i;

    return 0;

}

it should turn a character into a digit and return zero if it is no digit. What I have now works, but seems needlessly complicated. How can this be made easier?

int result;
char character;
Int32.TryParse( character + "" , out result )

The tryparse method should return zero if the parsing fails.
If you want to know if the character was actually zero or it has failed, you can put an if around it as it returns a boolean wether it failed or not.

int result;
char character;
if( Int32.TryParse( character + "" , out result ) )
  //win
else
  //fail

thanks, that's much simpler.
