Solution 1

Capture the return value from the Show method and test against the DialogResult enum

C#

DialogResult result = MessageBox.Show("Applicant already has interview date. Do you want to overwrite this date?", "Set interview", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question);

if(result == DialogResult.Yes)
{
}

Or even if (MessageBox.Show("Applicant already has interview date. Do you want to overwrite this date?", "Set interview", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.Yes) { }
