    // Define the registry key to use.
    box.CheckBoxRegistryKey =
        Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey(

    // contains a non-zero value.
    if (box.Show(this) == DialogResult.No)
    {
        // Do something if the user clicks the No button.
        this.Close();

}

Try
    ' Do something that could generate an exception.
    Throw New ApplicationException("An error has occured.")
Catch ex As ApplicationException
    Dim str As String = "The action failed. Do you want to continue?"
    Dim exTop As ApplicationException = New ApplicationException(str, ex)
    exTop.Source = Me.Text

    ' Show a message box with Yes and No buttons

     ExceptionMessageBoxButtons.YesNo, _
     ExceptionMessageBoxSymbol.Question, _
     ExceptionMessageBoxDefaultButton.Button2)

    box.CheckBoxRegistryValue = "DontShowActionFailedMessage"
    box.CheckBoxRegistryMeansDoNotShowDialog = True
    box.DefaultDialogResult = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes

    ' The message box won't be displayed if the
    ' "DontShowActionFailedMessage" value of the registry key 
    ' contains a non-zero value.
    If box.Show(Me) = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.No Then
        ' Do something if the user clicks the No button.
        Me.Close()
    End If
End Try

Remarks

This property is used with CheckBoxRegistryValue to initialize the selected state of the check box. If the specified registry value exists and contains a non-zero value, the check box is displayed as selected; otherwise, the check box is displayed as clear. If CheckBoxRegistryMeansDoNotShowDialog is true and the registry value exists and contains a non-zero value, the message box is not displayed and ExceptionMessageBox returns DefaultDialogResult when Show is called.

The RegistryKey must be opened by the application prior to calling Show.
