    I suggest to avoid unsupported code.

    I got this type of requirement many time but I always explained to customer that this is not feasible and CRM has some limits.

    I suggest you to use "throw new InvalidPluginExcecutionException("message");" for popup.

    Hi

    When a plugin throws an exception, it will always be displayed within out of the box business process error dialog, you won't be able to customize this dialog.

    And Winforms library or UI is not supported by CRM because Dynamics CRM UI is a Web Application.

    If you would like to display a friendly error message using a custom UI, you could move your code into a Custom Workflow Activity (CWA) and call that in an Action and then you could call the action in Javascript and if the code fails, you could return meaningful message to JS and then display the friendly message using V9 alert dialogs as explained in the links below

    If the above suggestions do not suit your requirements, please provide us with more details and we should be able to help
