Create your own form and have whatever buttons you want!

You can't, the only buttons available on System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox are the built-in ones.
If you want more buttons, you have to code your own message box form, as other people has already told you.

There is exactly one way: MessageBox.Show("more buttons");

You seem to lack the ability to apply effort, you must already be doing forms to want to use a message box. It would take < 10 mins to make a simple message box with 100 buttons!

1) MessageBox (text,title{,icon{,button{,default}}})
2) if you want more Functions, you can Customize your Winform;
it's very easy.

Hi,

What will happen if exception is happening in finally black. for example

finally
{
//i am closing connection object here .
con.close() ;

//but connection is not opened means this will throw the exception . What will happen for this Exception

}

Thanks in advance

Should be the same as any other exception that is not handled, i.e. it breaks! why don't you try it?

In your case check if the connection state is open before closing it. Smile | :)

Specifically for your example, you could use a try/catch inside finally, thus:

try {
  // do something
  // with con
}
catch (Exception ex) {
  // Ya boo sucks!
}
finally {
  try {
    con.close();
  }
  catch (Exception ex) {
    // unable to close it but must let go!
  }
  finally {
    // finally, finally release the reference
    con = null;
  }
}

Easy (and with tags too)

I'd recommend using a guard clause instead. I know you've answered the OP here, but it's better to do the following:

try
{
}
catch (...)
{
}
finally
{
  if (conn.Open)
    conn.Close();
}

Probably better [he says after checking that is exactly what I have done] but I do have the closure in the finally block inside it's own try/catch.

Wouldn't

using (whateverConnection conn = new whateverConnection())
{
  try
  {
    // do stuff
  }
  catch
  {
    // complain a lot
  }
}

be a better approach for the OP?

Writing a custom exception and the "meaning" of the code

Hi.

I'm a total beginner in C# (and PC programming), but I'm starting to get the logic to work allright so I've got some hours in front of the computer. A couple of days ago I wanted to throw my own exception and I used the intellisense codesnippet to generate a new custom exception class. This works great and I have no problems using it, however I do not fully understand WHAT the lines of code actually do (how they work and what they are for). Since I got it working, I guess I really don't have to know what it does (since it is in fact working), however to expand my knowledge (and possible learn some tricks for the future) I would like to know what each line of the auto-generated code actually does, and what it is for.

Would anyone please do a quick explain of the code? I have pasted the auto-generated code here:

[global::System.Serializable]
public class IndexException : Exception
{
    //Autogenerated code
    public IndexException() { }
    public IndexException(string message) : base(message) { }
    //public IndexException(string message, Exception inner) : base(message, inner) { }
    protected IndexException(
      System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo info,
      System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext context)
        : base(info, context) { }
}

Thanks a lot!!

I've already seen the msdn article (which for me who don't know very much about PC programming yet did not help my understanding very much). However, the other article looks great!!

Thanks again!
