Solution 1

FormClosing has a Boolean parameter which, if set to True when the function returns, will cancel closing the form, IIRC.

EDIT: For example,

private void Form1_FormClosing(Object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e) {
    // Set e.Cancel to Boolean true to cancel closing the form
}

See here.

Actually I think you are missing Event handler, oh you can not turn to that even without an even handler. You must add an event with an event handler like this.

private void myform_Closing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e) 
{
    DialogResult dr = MessageBoxFarsi.Show("Do You Want to Save Data?","",MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel,MessageBoxIcon.Warning)

    if (dr == DialogResult.Cancel) 
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
        return;
    }
    else if (dr == DialogResult.Yes)
    {
        //TODO: Save
    }
}

//now add a default constructor 
public myform()  // here use your form name.
{
    this.FormClosing += new FormClosingEventHandler(myform_Closing); 
}

Forgive me if there are some wrongs spellings in this code because i didn't write it in c# and copy paste here. I just wrote it in here. :)

You could have something like the following:

if(dr == DialogResult.Cancel)
{
    e.Cancel = true;
}
else if(dr == DialogResult.Yes)
{
    //Save the data
}

The above code should only close the form if you choose yes or no, and will save data when you choose yes.

Solution 4

You can try this:

if (MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to quit?", "Attention!!", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Warning) == DialogResult.Yes)
{
   //this block will be executed only when Yes is selected
   MessageBox.Show("Data Deleted", "Done", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Asterisk);
}
else
{
  //this block will be executed when No/Cancel is selected
  //the effect of selecting No/Cancel is same in MessageBox (particularly in this event)
}

If needed same you can do for the No and Cancel Button click using DialogResult class
