Show message Box in .net console application
We can show a message box in a console application. But first include this reference in your vb.net or c# console application
System.Windows.Forms;
Reference:
To add reference in vb.net program right click (in solution explorer) on your project name-> then add reference-> then .Net-> then select System.Windows.Forms.
To add reference in c# program right click in your project folders shown in solution explorer on add references-> .Net -> select System.Windows.Forms.
then you can do the below code for c# console application:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace ConsoleApplication6
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
MessageBox.Show("Hello World");
}
}
}
For the vb.net application you can simply code after inclusion of above mentioned reference
Module Module1
Sub Main()
MsgBox("Hello")
Console.ReadKey()
End Sub
End Module
Adapted from this answer to a related question.
To have a simple message box inside your console application you can follow the below steps.
Create a property with attribute of
using System.Runtime.InteropServices; [DllImport("User32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)] public static extern int MessageBox(IntPtr h, string m, string c, int type);
User the property to call the message box.
MessageBox((IntPtr)0, "asdasds", "My Message Box", 0); using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; namespace AllKeys { public class Program { [DllImport("User32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)] public static extern int MessageBox(IntPtr h, string m, string c, int type); public static void Main(string[] args) { MessageBox((IntPtr)0, "Your Message", "My Message Box", 0); } } }
