You are correct in that if it is passed to MessageBox.Show as a hard coded
string it will do as I would like. The issue is that I'm putting all my
messages in a resource file so they can be changed without rebuilding the
application. So when the resource is read by the ResourceManager it is read
as a quoted string.
Thanks
