        If saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel Then
            Return
        Else
            zip.Save(zippath)
        End If

Answer 1

Could try something like this? If its just a simple yes/no/cancel box?

 Dim result As Integer = MessageBox.Show("message", "caption", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel)
    If result = DialogResult.Cancel Then
        *whatever you want
    ElseIf result = DialogResult.No Then
        *whatever you want
    ElseIf result = DialogResult.Yes Then
        *whatever you want
    End If

just seen it was a savefiledialog in that case do soemthing similar to this

If SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.Ok
    zip.Save(zippath)
Else
    msgbox.show("Cancelled!")
End If

or another option may be

Select Case SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
    Case DialogResult.Ok
        zip.Save(zippath)
    Case DialogResult.Cancel
        msgbox.show("Cancelled!")
End Select

Answer 2

Using the DialogResult.OK is more effective, because you will only write the file if you click "OK"

If SaveFileDialog.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
    zip.Save(zippath)
Else
    Return 
End If

There are a few ways to cancel the save of the file, and in some of them, the dialog result is not "Cancel".

I appreciate all the help! But I did find the fix. What I did was set a variable to the saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() like so

Dim tempvar = saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()

Then I set a break point for when the DialogResult happens. When the user clicks cancel or the X in the top right corner it sets tempvar to false but if they click Save it sets it to true so below is the code I made up, and it works great!

If tempvar = False Then
    Return
Else
    zip.Save(zippath)
End If

I appreciate all the help guys! Thank you very much!
