Hi

Well I suppose we have these kinds of questions at some stage, the code is pretty self-explanatory so I will give it to you and you can read up about it using Intillisense.

System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Text goes here");
 

or to make things easier just type mbox and press <TAB> twice

This method has a huge amount of overloads and you can customize it a lot, so just play around with it.

In case of windows application you can make use of Message Box
and in case of asp.net use javascript . Also you can google for ajax message box

Add reference to System.Windows. Forms in your ( i am assuming here a console application) application ... If its a web project ... use javascript... as server side code cant execute on client side ...

Your question doesn't seem to have anything to do with this thread. Please start a new relevant thread.

As for calculating if the age is over 18 you could try:

DateTime MinimumBirthDate, SuppliedBirthDate;
TimeSpan LegalAge = new TimeSpan();
 
LegalAge = TimeSpan.FromDays(365*18); //to get 18 years
 
MinimumBirthDate = DateTime.Now.Subtract(LegalAge);
 
SuppliedBirthDate = new DateTime(1203, 8, 8); //Enter birthdate supplied by the user here
 
if (MinimumBirthDate > SuppliedBirthDate)
{
      //over 18 code
}
else
{
     //under 18 code
}

Hope this helps

I probably wouldn't have spoon fed him the answer, but point him on the right direction.

IE: what methods/procs to use etc
