MessageBox not working in VB.net

Hi. I am trying to show a message box when the user has chosen a file that already exists and then exit the sub. I am getting a red line under the word 'show'. The error says "Overload failed because no accessable 'Show' accepts this number of arguments."

The following is my code:

'Use filename chosen by user
        strFileName = lblChosenFile.Text

        strNewFileName = ForcastFileName(strFileName)
        If System.IO.File.Exists(strNewFileName) Then
            'The forcasted file exists
            MessageBox.Show = ("File has already been forcasted.", "File Forcasted", MessageBoxButtons.OK)
            Exit Sub
        End If

Open in new window


Can someone please help with this, it seems like it should be a simple thing to do and I have tried numerous variations ... what and I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Valerie

Show is a method, try this instead: 
'Use filename chosen by user
strFileName = lblChosenFile.Text

strNewFileName = ForcastFileName(strFileName)
If System.IO.File.Exists(strNewFileName) Then
	'The forcasted file exists
	MessageBox.Show("File has already been forcasted.", "File Forcasted", MessageBoxButtons.OK)
	Exit Sub
End If
