MessageBox.show and displaying type char[]

VM
How would I need to call MessageBox.Show () so it displays a variable of type
char[] of 9 chars (char[8]) ?

If I use it normally (MessageBox.Sho w (myVar.ToString ()); ), it displays
System.Char[].
Thanks.

Use the String(char[]) constructor.

I have a strange situation. A simple call to MessageBox.Show("XXX", "YYY") does not display the message in the messagebox with a visible font. Based on the content of the messagebox, the box sizes properly so I know there is a message in there. I also found a keyboard shortcut where <ctrl>+<insert> will copy the contents of the messagebox to the clipboard in plain text. I see my messagebox text in the clipboard contents but not in the...

Hi, I'm getting an exception that really has me stumped. It's sporadic at best, it's only happened a handful of times. This particular time it happened when the user pressed 'Alt-S' to save the data that they were entering. Following is all exception information. Any thoughts much appreciated. Cheers

This is a restatement of an earlier post that evidently wasn't clear. I am building a custom MessageBox dialog that has, among other things, a few new button options (yes to all, no to all, etc.) and would like to make the dialog look and act like the standard MessageBox. Therefore, I would like to put in the message section the same type of icons found in the MessageBox dialog, such as MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation. In another post here I had...

I'm having a strange problem (or at least it seems strange to me) trying to display a MessageBox in a VC++ .NET forms application. If I put the call to MessageBox::Show in the form's .h file, it works just fine. If I put the call in the .cpp file, I get the following two errors: error C2653: 'MessageBoxA': is not a class or namespace name error C2660: 'System::Windows::Forms::Control::Show': function does not take

I have a Messagebox that looks like: MessageBox.Show("There are pending changes for this patient.

One option of the messagebox object indicates it can be placed over a selected window rather than just appearing centered on the desktop. The function is "Overloads Public Shared Function Show(IWin32Window, String) As DialogResult" I have unsuccessfully tried: /// Dim winhandle as string Dim rtn as DialogResult winHandle = Me.Handle.ToString()

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
