[RESOLVED] MessageBox etc. in a constructor, would you do that?
what do you think, is showing a message box in a constructor of some class a bad practice? (or any other interaction with the user while initializing an object)
win7 x86, VS 2008 & 2010, C++/CLI, C#, .NET 3.5 & 4.0, VB.NET, VBA... WPF is comming 
remeber to give feedback  you think my response deserves recognition? perhaps you may want to click the Rate this post link/button and add to my reputation

if you use Opera and you'd like to have the tab-button functionality for the texteditor take a look at my Opera Tab-UserScirpt; and if you know how to stop firefox from jumping to the next control when you hit tab let me know

No, I wouldn't recommend doing that. Your object is then tightly coupled to your GUI. If you want user interaction to decide whether or not a task should take place, you should do that before constructing your object.

Are you saying that it is not bad practice to show a messagebox from a class constructor? Going to have to disagree with you there. The UI layer should be responsible for the UI, otherwise you have this tangled mess of code and, when inevitably more than one messagebox is popping up because of some error, you have to start digging through class files to find them and get rid of them. Poor, poor design.

Damned! I've anwer another question... I definitely want to say that I consider it is bad practice to show message box in a constructor. Thanks for your notice.
