Showing the messagebox only once in a loop vb.net

Question

I have this loop that pops out a message box every time the condition is true.

For i = 0 To DataGridView1.Rows.Count - 1
        Dim c As Boolean
        c = DataGridView1.Rows(i).Cells(0).Value
        If c = True Then
            cmd3.Connection = con
            con.Open()

            cmd3.CommandText = "insert into student select * from stud where studentno = '" & DataGridView1.Rows(i).Cells(1).Value.ToString & "' delete from stud where studentno = '" & DataGridView1.Rows(i).Cells(1).Value.ToString & "'"
            dr3 = cmd3.ExecuteReader()
            MessageBox.Show("Account approved.")
            con.Close()
        Else

        End If
    Next

The messagebox shows as many times as the checked row. And I want to show it just once. I relocate my messagebox everywhere but it does not work. I searched but did not come up for an answer. I tried moving it outside the loop but the problem is, the message box still shows even the condition is false.

Thanks!

One approach would be to create a counter for successful approvals and another counter for unsuccessful approvals and display these after completing the loop. The counters are incremented in the loop depending on the result of the boolean c in each iteration.

Dim iSuccessCount As Integer
Dim iFailedCount As Integer

For i = 0 To DataGridView1.Rows.Count - 1
    Dim c As Boolean
    c = DataGridView1.Rows(i).Cells(0).Value

    If c = True Then
        iSuccessCount +=1
        cmd3.Connection = con
        con.Open()

        cmd3.CommandText = "insert into student select * from stud where studentno = '" & DataGridView1.Rows(i).Cells(1).Value.ToString & "' delete from stud where studentno = '" & DataGridView1.Rows(i).Cells(1).Value.ToString & "'"
        dr3 = cmd3.ExecuteReader()
        con.Close()
    Else
        iFailedCount += 1
    End If
Next

Dim sb As New StringBuilder

sb.Append(iSuccessCount.ToString)
sb.Append(If(iSuccessCount = 1, " account was ", " accounts were "))
sb.Append("approved.")
sb.Append(Environment.NewLine)
sb.Append(iFailedCount.ToString)
sb.Append(If(iFailedCount = 1, " account was ", " accounts were "))
sb.Append("not approved.")

MessageBox.Show(sb.ToString)
