The XtraMessageBox.Show method has several overloads that allow you to display error icons much like you can with a standard MessageBox.
For instance:
C#XtraMessageBox.Show("Message Text", "Caption", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Error);

Hi Vasudev,
You can use any required icon from our Image Gallery. See the How to access an image from DX Image Gallery thread for details on how to get an image in code. Then use the approach from the Convert Image file to Icon using C# article to get an Icon object from an image.
I hope you will find it helpful.

That's an outrageous amount of hassle to expect people to go through. I expected XtraMessageBoxArgs to make organizing and passing arguments as easy as passing individual arguments. It should be made as simple as specifying MessageBoxIcon.Error in XtraMessageBoxArgs.Icon or similar property.
Update: After a little digging, I found this works:
XtraMessageBoxArgs args = new XtraMessageBoxArgs();
args.Caption = "Caption";
args.Text = "Message Text";
args.Buttons = new DialogResult[] { DialogResult.Yes, DialogResult.No };
args.Icon = System.Drawing.SystemIcons.Error; // <-- Much simpler
XtraMessageBox.Show(args);
Hi Jonathan,
Yes, that is a correct way of setting the icon of XtraMessageBox.
