How to: Open a Message Box
This example shows how to open a message box.
Example
A message box is a prefabricated modal dialog box for displaying information to users. A message box is opened by calling the static Show method of the MessageBox class. When Show is called, the message is passed using a string parameter. Several overloads of Show allow you to configure how a message box will appear (see MessageBox).
Private Sub showMessageBoxButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
' Configure message box
Dim message As String = "Hello, MessageBox!"
' Show message box
Dim result As MessageBoxResult = MessageBox.Show(message)
End Sub
void showMessageBoxButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
// Configure message box
string message = "Hello, MessageBox!";
// Show message box
MessageBoxResult result = MessageBox.Show(message);
}
