You can store the answers in a DialogResult object. Then you can analyze the answers like that:

       DialogResult result = MessageBox.Show("this item is already in the system, do you want to add it anyway ?", "Question",MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel);

       if (result == DialogResult.Yes) {
           //your code here
       } else if (result == DialogResult.Cancel) {
           //your code here
       } else if (result == DialogResult.No) {
          // your code here
       }
