What are some advantages of using Forms over MessageBoxes? And, is a return statement required in a method that returns the type void?

Well, the obvious one is that you can design a form any way you like, a MessageBox is very limited.

This is the sort of question where it would make sense to try it and so. The answer is no. You'd only use it to terminate execution based on a condition such as if (i <0) return;

returnstatement." ethic, as I have, then yes. (But the compiler makes the final decision.) ((Andyieldmesses it up a bit.)) -

So have I, and that may have colored my response, but all I meant was, you can use it in the middle, but if it's not used around a condition, then the middle will become the end, and using it at the end, is pointless. Yes, I didn't confuse things by mentioning 'yield' :0)

You have better flexibility and control. Customization is far better with forms than messageboxes.
