Does anyone have a link to custom messagebox code (so I could change the text on the buttons) for .NET? I have some for VB 6.0, but I'm having problems converting it over.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Wouldn't it be easier to just use a form and show it modally? You can shadow the ShowDialog to return whatever you want for a return value.
