C# How do I just throw up an error dialog?

[Alphathree33]

I've looked up and down the class library. I really don't want to write my own error form although it wouldn't be that hard, it just feels wrong in concept when I know there are plenty available through the Windows API, and I assume C# must expose some of them.

The link is correct, but it's MessageBox.Show, not MsgBox

Both VB.Net and C# support MessageBox.
VB.Net also supports the old VB MsgBox function, but it is outdated and you should use the new MessageBox class instead.

catch(Exception e)
				{
					System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(e.ToString(), "Critical: Unhandled error");
				}
