Use the WPF toolkit messagebox using custom name

Question

I am using the WPF toolkit messagebox now using something like this

Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.MessageBox.Show(MessageCenter.Show(12131011, true));

Then i did this

 Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.MessageBox Mebox=new  Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.MessageBox();

Surprise.Doesn't work.

What i am trying to do is use create a new Messagebox named Mebox which is basically a renamed version of Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.MessageBox since typing Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.MessageBox is tedious.

Have you tried including the namespace and or giving it an Alias.

At the top of the cs file put this:

using MeBox = Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.MessageBox;
