I have an odd problem. It seems all of a sudden, within an app i am developing, all occuraances of messagebox.show is ignored

To test, i set the first line of my program to a messagebox.show and it never gets displayed.

There are no errors either at compile or run time. Intellisence doesnt work

when i type messagebox. i have to type it in full

Any ideas much appreciated

Does the messagebox actually display at runtime?

Thanks for your replies,

No, it doesnt show at any point in my app.

Ive tried a messagebox command on a new test project, and that works fine.

Im baffled

Thanks for your reply,

no, i didnt define my own. Just used the standard system one.

The only thing i can think to do is to create a new project, and add bits to it one by one and test after each stage.

This will take some time, but cant think of anything else.

Thanks

Chris

Ok guys, ive cracked this one. Thought i'd share this with you to avoid the problem.

After a LOT of testing, cups of coffee and head scrating I know what the problem is.

At the time i reported the problem, i had put my system, clock back (for some other purpose nothing to do with this issue - for this explpanation lets say 15/7/07). I had prevously complied my project to a later date lets say 15/8/07.

I then inserted a messagebox.show command in my code (while my clock was 15/7/07)to test something and as you know it didnt work. Thats because when i pressed F5 it was using the old exe, ie 15/8/07. Even doing a build would not regenerate the exe file until i put my system clock back to what it should be (eg 15/8/07)

No errors - no warning messages!

Is this a bug or some wierd 'feature' ??

Thanks to everyone who replied.

Thanks for the clarification.

The intellisense problem went away after a reboot - no idea why.

Thanks everyone for the replies

Its a wrap
