Halt execution until a response is given

I have scripts that run on request and are compiled using CodeDomProvider. Here's an example of one:

var yes = SendYesNo();

if (yes)
    // Do something
else
    // Do something else

Now. SendYesNo displays a box with input from the user. I want to halt the script on that line, until a response is set. And then, take the response and apply it to the variable and continue the execution. So far I've used await/async, but I dislike this idea. Is it possible with something else?

You could use a modal window that returns your parameter. You could either use a standard MessageBox or a customized Form if the input required is more complex.

Something like:

public class SomeForm : Form
{
    public bool yesNo
    {
        get
        {
            return yesNo;
        }
        set
        {
        //set value according to your logic
        }
    }
}

and in your main Form call it like:

using (var form = new SomeForm())
{
    if (form.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        var yesNo = form.yesNo;
        if (yes)
        // Do something
        else
        // Do something else
    }
}

in case it's just a Yes / No MessageBox you can refer to: How do I create a message box with "Yes", "No" choices and a DialogResult?
