C# DialogBox and DialogResult

Question

I want to get the button of the DialogBox that the user clicked ... yet when I use the DialogResult I get this error

'System.Windows.Window.DialogResult' is a 'property' but is used like a 'type'

How can I use the DialogResult??

Ok, I`ve managed to solve it.

MessageBoxResult Result = MessageBox.Show("Message Body", @"Caption/Title", MessageBoxButton.YesNo);
        switch (Result)
        {
            case MessageBoxResult.Yes:
                MessageBox.Show("Yes Pressed!!");
                break;
            case MessageBoxResult.No:
                MessageBox.Show("No Pressed!!");
                break;
        }

Answer 1

DialogResult is Enum - you can directly compare with the DialogResult Property of your form.

Answer 2

Do you need a DialogBox? Or would a MessageBox work for your purposes?

 DialogResult dlg = MessageBox.Show("Question User?",
                   "MessageBox Title",
                   MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,
                   MessageBoxIcon.Question);
            if (dlg == DialogResult.No)
            {
                //user changed mind. return
                return;
            }

etc.

If you are using WPF or Silverlight then DialogResult is a bool? and you can use ?? to supply a value if the result is null.

if (myWindow.DialogResult ?? false)
    Debug.WriteLine("You clicked OK");
else
    Debug.WriteLine("You clicked Cancel");

You're using WPF's DialogResult property, which is a Nullable<bool>, not an enumeration.

You need to check the result like so:

bool? dialogResult = dialogBox.ShowDialog();

if (dialogResult.HasValue) // Should always have a value, at this point, since the dialogBox.ShowDialog() returned at this point.  Will be false until the dialog is closed, however
{
    if (dialogResult.Value)
    {
        // User "accepted" the dialog, hitting yes, OK, etc...
    }
    else
    {
        // User hit "cancel" button
    }
}
