messagebox with "Yes", "No" and dialogresult?

Question

I want to make simple Y/N messagebox but I think it is nonsense to design a form for that. I thought I can use MessageBox, add buttons etc. It is simple but since there is no dialog result, I don't know how to retrieve the result?

Answer 1

The MessageBox does produce a DialogResults

DialogResult r = MessageBox.Show("Some question here");

You can also specify the buttons easily enough. More documentation can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ba2a6d06.aspx

Answer 2

DialogResult dr = MessageBox.Show("Are you happy now?", 
                      "Mood Test", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo);
switch(dr){
   case DialogResult.Yes: break;
   case DialogResult.No: break;
}

From MessageBox search. MessageBox class is what you are looking for.

Answer 3

MessageBox.Show(title, text, messageboxbuttons.yes/no)

This returns a DialogResult which you can check.

For example,

if(MessageBox.Show("","",MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == DialogResult.Yes) { //do something }

Answer 4

This should do it:

DialogResult dialogResult = MessageBox.Show("Sure", "Some Title", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo);
if(dialogResult == DialogResult.Yes)
{
    //do something
}
else if (dialogResult == DialogResult.No)
{
    //do something else
}
