Prabhudhas Peter

MessageBox.Show... In VB6 i used MsgBox, So Can I Say "MessageBox.Show" is

'MsgBox' is part of "Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll". The use of this library is
encourages in VB.NET projects. 'MessageBox', on the other hand, is part of
the .NET Framework's class library and is intended for use in all
..NET-enabled programming languages. When developing in VB.NET I prefer
'MsgBox' over 'MessageBox.Show' because it's IMO more handy.

"IMO" = "In my opinion". Yes, personally I prefer 'MsgBox' because of its
shortness.
