I think S. Magus gives a correct and solid answer above.

I would only use this alternative style of coding in a situation where there were several possible results to be examined/acted upon:

C#

switch(MessageBox.Show("Save Analysis and/or Design", "Save", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Warning))
{
    case DialogResult.Yes:
        // call 'Yes function
        break;
    case DialogResult.No:
        // call 'No function
        break;
    case DialogResult.Retry:
        // call 'Retry
        break;
    case DialogResult.Cancel:
        // call 'Cancel function
        break;
    default:
        break;
}

The above 'takes advantage' of the fact that DialogResult is an Enumeration, and, thus, can be used as the selector in a switch/case statement.

C#

DialogResult result = MessageBox.Show("Save Analysis and/or Design", "Save", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Warning);

if (result == DialogResult.Yes)
    Yes();
else if (result == DialogResult.No)
    No();
else 
    Cancel();
