How do I create a message box with buttons?

I'm making a Windows form which allows people to select a film from different genres. I've used list boxes to display the list of films and genres. When a user selects a genre, the films from that genre are displayed in another list box. The user selects a film from that list box, then a picture from the film is displayed in a picture box and informtion for the film is displayed in a text box.

Now what I want is to have button which the user clicks, once they have selected the film, which displays a message box with buttons, that asks if they're sure they want to choose this film. If the user clicks "Yes", the picture and info for the film are still displayed on screen as before. If user clicks no then the picture and info are cleared from the screen and the user can select another film.

How do I do this?

For a simple message box use the cleverly named MessageBox[^] class.

For a more complex dialog, create a new window and display it appropriately.

"Enough says". Then why say it.

I did not understand your question "why", but I fixed spelling in my comment.

Hope this will help

if(MessageBox.Show("Your Message","Caption",MessageBoxButtons.YesNo)==DialogResult.Yes)
{
// write code here for yes
}
else
{
// here for no
}

So instead of having the OP learn something you just give him the answer. Nice way to perpetuate ignorance and raise the level of our industry.
