center MessageBox in parent form
I am trying to make an C# application and I want to have my messageBox appear near the parent. I tried:
MessageBox.Show(this,"this operation does not work");
And this doesn't work.

5Set a breakpoint and check the value of `this`? Also, 'doesn't work' isn't descriptive enough. Is the `messagebox` not showing? Are you getting an `exception`? – Brian Jan 30 '13 at 17:01

1It's possible to reposition a `MessageBox`, but it's messy business. Create your own form. – JosephHirn Jan 30 '13 at 21:11

Assuming you're using Windows Forms, create a new class which extends System.Windows.Form to mimic MessageBox. Set the Location property based on your new classes Parent.Location property.
