strange behavior in .Net/C# ??

[genc ymeri]

Hi,
I just noticed that while trying to run this code :

MessageBox.Show ("Hello");

the message box pops up but shows no string/message in it. (expecting the
"Hello" string). Even the "OK" string in the button itself in dialog box
doesn't show.

I tried to write "Hello" string in the caption/text of the button or the
form text itslef

this.text = "hello"

but nothing changes.

I ran it from "outsite" (not from MS Studio IDE) and it does the same thing.
I unistalled and installed the .Net 1.1 Framework but the problem appears
and disappears randomly.......

It may be others thing they may not work properly, I just can't notice all
of them but this was obvious.

Any idea ?

It needs a little bit more info.
MessageBox.Show
("Hello","Goodb ye",MessageBoxB uttons.OK,Messa geBoxIcon.Infor mation);

("Hello","Goodb ye",MessageBoxB uttons.OK,Messa geBoxIcon.Infor mation);

It's minimal, but syntactically and logically correct. The OP should be
getting a dialog with "Hello" as the message and everything else defaulted.

This is very weird. You are calling MessageBox.Show properly. It seems
like some sort of string resource problem inside the .NET framework. Does
this reproduce in a simple project? Are you running on a separate thread
from the main application thread?

Your first code statement works correctly here in three different Visual
Studio .NET 2003 development environments, leading me to the conclusion that
there must be something very wrong on your PC.
I suggest applying all security patches to your OS if you have no already
done so, scanning with an up-to-date virus scanner and checking your system
for malware using tools like SpyBot and AdAware. Once you're sure you're
clean, then uninstall and reinstall both the .NET Framework and VS. NET.
Brutal, I know, but you have something causing erratic behavior.

yeah,,, It started while parsing some XML files and it drove me
"creazy" b/c I was not getting any values at all, so I tried the
MessageBox.Show ("Hello"). No text did show up.

So I opened a new project dropping a single button and onClick event I
wrote the same thing

string s = "hello";
MessageBox.Show ("Hello");
MessageBox.Show (s);

No text did show up in both of my above commands. Then I wrote a simple
app to run it through console,
....
console.write(" hello");string s = "hello";console .write(s);
this did work fine.

I went back to my simple win project with a single button on it, and it
showed the same problem.

Not sure what it is, but I do have NAV & LavaSoft running daily, and a
deticated team to catch these problems. Yes something is wrong in my PC
b/c my simple samples run fine in other PCs.

Not sure what it is.

Thanks a lot.

Stupid question, but you haven't accidently changed your Dialog Text Color to the same as your Dialog Color have you?

Maybe you are using a popup blocker which prevents MessageBoxes to show up.

I do see the MessageBox. I do not see the string message in it.

hmmmm fair question but no, I haven't. Also now randomly, (specially when
I change the focus from onether app to my sample app) the text sometimes
shows up ,,,,,,)

thnx
