Is there a WPF message box?

Question

Is there a standard message box in WPF I should use, like WinForms System.Windows.MessageBox.Show()?

...or is it OK to use the WinForm message box?

Answer 1

The WPF equivalent would be the System.Windows.MessageBox. It has a quite similar interface, but uses other enumerations for parameters and return value.

Answer 2

Yes. It's called System.Windows.MessageBox.

Answer 3

As the other say, there is one in the wpf namespace (System.Windows).

The problem is that it is the same old messagebox with OK/Cancel etc. Vista/Win7 has moved on to use Task Dialogs instead.

Unfortunately there is no easy standard interface for task dialogs. I use this one
