This enumeration is used by the MessageBox class. The description of each member of this enumeration contains a typical representation of the symbol. The actual graphic displayed is a function of the operating system constants. In current implementations there are four unique symbols with multiple values assigned to them.
The following code example shows how to use a MessageBox to inform the user of a missing entry in a TextBox. This example requires that the method is called from an existing form with a Button and a TextBox on it.
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { if(textBox1.Text == "") { MessageBox.Show("You must enter a name.", "Name Entry Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation); } else { // Code to act on the data entered would go here. } }
protected void button1_Click(Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (textBox1.get_Text().Equals("")) {
MessageBox.Show("You must enter a name.", "Name Entry Error",
MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
}
else {
// Code to act on the data entered would go here.
}
} //button1_Click
