The Button..::.DialogResult property and the Form..::.ShowDialog method use this enumeration.

The following code example demonstrates how to display a MessageBox with the options supported by this overload of Show. After verifying that a string variable, ServerName, is empty, the example displays a MessageBox, offering the user the option to cancel the operation. If the Show method's return value evaluates to Yes, the form that displayed the MessageBox is closed.

Visual Basic
Private Sub ValidateUserEntry5()

    ' Checks the value of the text.

    If ServerName.Text.Length = 0 Then

        ' Initializes variables to pass to the MessageBox.Show method.

        Dim Message As String = "You did not enter a server name. Cancel this operation?"
        Dim Caption As String = "No Server Name Specified"
        Dim Buttons As Integer = MessageBoxButtons.YesNo

        Dim Result As DialogResult

        'Displays a MessageBox using the Question icon and specifying the No button as the default.

        Result = MessageBox.Show(Me, Message, Caption, MessageBoxButtons.YesNo)

        ' Gets the result of the MessageBox display.

        If Result = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes Then

            ' Closes the parent form.

            Me.Close()

        End If

    End If

End Sub
C#
    private void validateUserEntry5()
    {

        // Checks the value of the text.

        if(serverName.Text.Length == 0)
        {

            // Initializes the variables to pass to the MessageBox.Show method.

            string message = "You did not enter a server name. Cancel this operation?";
            string caption = "No Server Name Specified";
            MessageBoxButtons buttons = MessageBoxButtons.YesNo;
            DialogResult result;

            // Displays the MessageBox.

            result = MessageBox.Show(this, message, caption, buttons);

            if(result == DialogResult.Yes)
            {

                // Closes the parent form.

                this.Close();

            }

        }

    }
Visual C++
private:
   void validateUserEntry5()
   {
      // Checks the value of the text.
      if ( serverName->Text->Length == 0 )
      {
         // Initializes the variables to pass to the MessageBox::Show method.
         String^ message = "You did not enter a server name. Cancel this operation?";
         String^ caption = "No Server Name Specified";
         MessageBoxButtons buttons = MessageBoxButtons::YesNo;
         System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult result;

         // Displays the MessageBox.
         result = MessageBox::Show( this, message, caption, buttons );
         if ( result == ::DialogResult::Yes )
         {
            // Closes the parent form.
            this->Close();
         }
      }
   }
