MessageBox not showing (focused) after SaveFileDialog

Question

For some reason after my SaveFileDialog, my app will never show the MessageBox. Is there something I'm missing? Or is this a threading issue?

I run the application as a Windows Form application using VS 2010 Express.

I do not get any exceptions.

To add: When I step through the code, all seems to go well. Which is weird, so I believe it is a timing issue.

Pointed out by LarsTech and others, the MessageBoxes do show up, however the focus is gone; in other words the MessageBox is pushed behind other windows or minimized. This is a problem.

    class Program

         [STAThread]
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

        string filename = "test.test"; // args[0];
        string ext = filename.Substring(filename.LastIndexOf('.'));
        SaveFileDialog dialog = new SaveFileDialog();
        dialog.Title = "SpeedDating App";
        dialog.RestoreDirectory = true;
        dialog.CheckFileExists = false;
        dialog.CheckPathExists = false;
        dialog.FileName = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd") + ext;

        DialogResult result = dialog.ShowDialog();
        if (result == DialogResult.OK && dialog.FileName != "")
        {
            try
            {
                FileStream outfs = File.Create(dialog.FileName);
                FileStream infs = File.Open(filename, FileMode.Open);
                infs.CopyTo(outfs);
                infs.Close();
                outfs.Close();
            }
            catch (NotSupportedException ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Probably removed the original file.");
            }
        }
        else
        {
            MessageBox.Show("No path found to write to.");
        }

        MessageBox.Show("I came here and all I got was this louzy printline");

        }
    }
}

Answer 1

I tried this one and it showed right away:

 MessageBox.Show(new Form() { WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized, TopMost = true }, "You clicked Cancel button", "Cancel");

Answer 2

Try this for your Message Box.

MessageBox.Show(this,"Probably removed the original file.");

Answer 3

I created a new project and pasted your code and it works for me. Make sure you have done a full rebuild before running. Also, with this line:

dialog.FileName = DateTime.Now.ToString(format) + "." + ext;

The dialog box will have a file name to begin with. Therefore, only hitting the cancel button (assuming you don't clear the save dialog first) will trigger the message box. Either way, I got the message box to pop up by failing your IF test either way. Your code looks alright.
