Intellisense not showing MessageBoxResult

Question

Hi,

I am working with a windows forms application in VC# and visual studio 2005

I am showing a message box within an button click event

string messageBoxText = "Click OK to save your changes\n"; string caption = "Confirm Changes"; MessageBoxButtons button = MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel; //Display the MessageBox MessageBox.Show(messageBoxText, caption, button);

MessageBoxResult result = MessageBox.Show(messageBoxText, caption, button); The following error pops up on compilation:

Error 1 The type or namespace name 'MessageBoxResult' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Also intellisense does not show any such thing as MessageBoxResult. I have seen this statement on msdn. Any help on how to capture the response of message (OK/Cancel) without using MessageBoxResult ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You could try placing

using System.Windows;

at the top of your source.

Or try DialogResult instead. That's in the System.Windows.Forms namespace, and is what Show() returns in my C# source files...

Answer 2

The MessageBoxResult Enumeration is only available on .NET 3.0+. You're using 2.0.

Use DialogResult as Walt suggested.
