messagebox

Let me give you the background. We have an Application(medium sized) that is using MessageBox.Show (....) at various places (in hundreds). These message boxes are part of workflow and being used for informing,warning or taking input from an user. Application is supposed to automatically log off after certain time if there is no activity. We have a requirement that while logging out the application, just to clean the session data , to clear views and to hide itself so that in next launch, it won't have to execute the startup process which is costly in terms of time. Everything is working fine

Can you display a message box (or any form of notification) from a windows service? Can't get it to work. I used: global::System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("A fatal error occurred. " + ServiceName + " is now terminating."); but it didn't work and just produced an error. No, you cannot show a message box from a service. If you want to report errors, the standard way to do this is with the event log . For more "advanced" kinds of UI (not just error reporting), the way this is typically done is via a regular windows application that you put in the user's Startup folder (or the Run key in the

I have an ASP.NET web application, and I wanted to know how I could display an error message box when an exception is thrown. For example, try { do something } catch { messagebox.write("error"); //[This isn't the correct syntax, just what I want to achieve] } [The message box shows the error] Thank you You can't reasonably display a message box either on the client's computer or the server.

This guy here adds a superscript like (TM): Adding a TM superScript to a string I Hope I got myself clear! Thanks in advance and sorry for any inconvenience... You could try using unicode super/subscripts , for example: var o2 = "O₂"; // or "O\x2082" var unit2 = "unit²"; // or "unit\xB2" If that doesn't work, I'm afraid you'll probably need to to write your own message box.

When you use MessageBox.Show() you have a selection of MessageBoxButtons to choose from. The buttons available are an enum, and give you options like "Yes No", "OK Cancel", etc. When I am using, for instance, Norwegian message text the user still gets the English "Yes No". Is there a way to change the text of the buttons (in C#) so that the language is correct? Can I override the text, or set the current locale in some way so that I can have "Ja Nei" instead of "Yes No"? I do not want to rely on installing a .NET language pack at my client. There is no native support for this in .NET (as far

Is there an easy way to display a messagebox in VB.NET with custom button captions? I came across What is an easy way to create a MessageBox with custom button text in Managed C++? , in the Stack Overflow archives, but it's for Managed C++ .
