Why is the messagebox shown before the form closes?
SomeForm myForm = new SomeForm();
myForm.Show();
MessageBox.Show("Some text");
Do I need to start a new thread, and wait for it to finish? I’ve never come across this problem before.
You need to use Form.ShowDialog() instead. Form.Show shows a modeless window, whereas Form.ShowDialog shows a modal form, i.e., that the user has to close before continuing.
