This is probably a stupid question. It should be an easy thing to do and I thought I had it working but it is not and I have looked, and looked for an answer and been unable to find it.

The problem is I have a form that has an ok button and a cancel button. Under certain circumstances when one of the buttons is clicked I want to show a Messagebox to confirm the action. However, no matter what I do the form is closed. I thought this might work:

C#

if ( DialogResult.Yes == MessageBox.show("Are you sure?","confirm",MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question)
{
    this.close();
else
    return;

However, whether I use this.close() or this.show() or return or not the end result is that the form is closed rather than left showing with the user given a chance to change their selection.

Thanks for the help, sorry to ask such a silly question.

That doesn't work. I see I forgot to say that I am using c# with Visual Studio express 2010.

e does not have a cancel property.
