New messagebox/error dialog?

Has anyone here used SQL Server Management Studio (2005) and seen the new
messagebox that comes up when there's an error? It's really nice, with
buttons along the bottom for accessing the help links and getting the extra
details from an Exception.

I was wondering if this was developed exclusively for this product or if
there's a new class in the 2.0 framework that all of us can tap directly
into. Ideas?

See the ExceptionMessageBox class.

Ah, it's tied to a library provided by SQL Server 2005, eh? Can we use it in
everyday apps then (i.e., is the library redistributable)?

I don't know if is redistributable, I would think it isn't. But since it's
also part of SQL Server Management Studio Express you may be able to use it
in your programs (if you programs include SQL Server Express).

Hopefully somebody from MSFT will clarify this.
