"Are you sure?" via a messagebox in powershell

Goodmorning developers,

I am trying to make a delete function in powershell. I want to have something like this:

  function deleteEnv(){
    $result = [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show('Are you sure?''Yes', 'No' 'Info')
    if(yes){
     //Delete
}

else {
//do nothing
}
}

When I click the delete button a message box must be shown first with the two buttons yes or no. If yes then delete else do nothing. How can I do this?

Kind regards

Solution 
  • [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")
$result = [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show('Are you sure?' , "Info" , 4)
if ($result -eq 'Yes') {
    do stuff
}
