    You can use the DialogResult object. Any messageBox always returns a DialogResult that contains the name of the button that was pressed (clicked. DialogResult result = MessageBox.Show("Write the question u want to ask here", "write the title (caption) of the message box", MessageBoxButtons.YESNO, MessageBoxIcon.Question); if(result.toString() == "Yes") //Do something cz the user clicked yes Note: if you are using asp and creating a web application as u stated u can't use the message box directly without referencing to its name space, you should add the reference: using System.Windows.Forms hope it helps,

      Ur in the wrong forum. Look in the asp.net forum, I have replied there to a similar question there. BTW, Alerts \ Confirm are used to pop up messages. Regards, Bhupi Bhai.

      Exactly right. You can not pop up MessageBox.Show("") in ASP.NET. You will get this error. "Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application.". You should only use Alert or Confirm. Especially in your case Confirm should work fine.

        use the add reference and add it u can use the add reference following these steps: click on the Project in the main menu, --> go down to the add reference --> stay in the .Net tab and scroll down till you find the System.Windows.Forms --> select it and then click add now u should be able to use the message box by just writting MessageBox.show(.......) good luck

              Try using this.

              using System;
              using System.Data;
              using System.Configuration;
              using System.Collections;
              using System.Web;
              using System.Web.Security;
              using System.Web.UI;
              using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
              using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
              using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
              using System.Data;
              using System.Data.Sql;
              using System.Data.SqlClient;
              using System.Windows.Forms;

              public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
              {
              protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
              {
              MessageBox.Show("Hi");
              }
              }

              Main thing is how MesageBox.Show("") will generate a dialog box at client side? MessageBox object is very specific to desktop. If you have tried the same I'll like to see that code.

                                      hi, i haven't seen that error before, but i don't write things just to add a post to my score. I write things when i am sure that it will work. And a proof for that is what the real poster wrote that it worked with him as it worked with me several times before. see what is really giving that error. debug it and see at what line it is going

                                          i checked that again now and it worked fine i don't know what is wrong with your code. What version of VS are you using mine is VS 2005 Look, just follow these steps: 1) create a new web application 2) go to the designer 3) add a button 4) double click the button 5) click on the project in the main menu. 6) add reference 7) in the .NET tab go to the System.Windows.Forms and click add 8) go to the source code of ur project. 9) add this name space using System.Windows.Forms 10) in the onClick event of the button write: MessageBox.Show("quiteSmart is very smart "); :) and it will work
