Dear all,

I am a biggner of VB.NET i am facing a verry small problem. when i am using Messagebox.show method it is displaying the messagebox but it is not displaying any text on that. even the text on button is also not appearing.

i am using Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.

Please help me.

Thanks

Could you please post your code that calls the method?

Assuming that you have the code formatted properly, the only thing that comes to mind is that maybe you do not have the .NET framework installed where you are attempting to run your code. The MessageBox.Show() method is really quite simplistic, so the only variable here is whether or not all the required components are available for the code to run properly.

Dear Cliffd

Actually i installed VB.NET in my system which first installs .Net Frame work. I am using this MessageBox.show() when i am creating VB.NET Soluation. Is there any problem in OS itself. If it is OS problem it should effect to all message boxes...

please give me some idea.

Are you using just Messagebox.Show() or are you passing a string value to it?

You have to tell it what to show, otherwise it will just show an empty box.

Messagebox.Show("This message will be shown")

--And actually, you should get an error if you just user Messagebox.Show() because it requires arguments...

That's why I asked for the code... as I wasn't certain that the string was being provided :) Sometimes the obvious is overlooked :)

I am having the same problem! :(

I have the following line in my program:

     MessageBox.Show("There is a problem with your data")

And a MessageBox does show up, but there is no text message or OK, label on the button. BUT, it only doesn't work on some machines, not all machines. i.e. on my computer at home, I get no text, but with the computer in my office, the text does display.

It seems to be a bug in .NET... :(

Take a look at this report (http://qc.borland.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=14398) on the Borland website, it clearly descripes the problem with MessageBox.Show()

Did anybody here already find a solution?

Found the problem, you won't believe it... :)

It seems to be a bug in the McAfee Virusscan 8 Buffer Overrun protection... Disable it, and the messagebox will work properly...
