MessageBox.Show no longer works...

I'm developing a small utility for personal use using VS2003 and .NET
1.1.

I use MessageBox.Show () often. Yesterday, it worked fine. Today it
no longer works. I get a MessageBox with no text, and a button with
no text. If I use the full blown Show() and tell it caption, icon,
buttonns, etc... I get the caption, icon, and buttons, but the text
and button text are still missing. Has anyone else had this happen.

The only difference between yesterday and today is that last night I
ran windows update and went ahead and installed the .NET Framework 2.0
on this machine; but this shouldn't have any effect on .NET 1.1 apps.

Thanks,

John

Do you have McAfee Antivirus? McAfee may have released a patch for this.

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 found lots of examples of people saying how easy it is and showing examples, and examples in the help. But I have two problems: 1. All the examples show all the code in HTML, usually...

Hi all, I have a VB.NET windows application that uses MDI form. When I try to delete a datagrid row from one of the MDI children forms, I use a MessageBox YesNo confirmation, which, after confirmed, minimizes the MDI form. Why is this happening and how can I prevent it? Important thing to say is, if I use just "OK" MessageBox, it DOES NOT minimize the MDI parent. TIA Goran
