I am sorry I have not been able to make this clear. Maybe this time it will
make sense.
The following code gets compile error: 'Application' is an ambiguous
reference between 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.OneNote.Application' and
'System.Windows.Forms.Application' G:\My Documents\Visual Studio
2008\Projects\OneNote Create Page\OneNote Create Page\Program.cs 17 10
OneNote Create Page
From this error message it appears that MessageBox, indeed ANY Windows Forms
application, is incompatible with OneNote 2007 Addin code (any program code
that uses Microsoft.Office.Interop.OneNote.Application). Is this correct or
am I missing something here? If this compatibility is the case, is this the
way it is designed to work or is there a workaround?

First, please post a complete, concise, and compilable (or as close as
possible) source file (including any using directives and
namespace/class declarations) that demonstrates the problem. If a line
fails to compile, leave it in in its entirety instead of replacing it
with a comment which tells us absolutely nothing about what the error
was. Second, what are the compiler error messages and numbers that you
get? Do you get any warnings as well?
By the catch block not catching anything useful, do you mean that your
program doesn't enter the catch block when an exception is thrown, or
something else?

I experimented with the following code. It compiles, but I would like to use
MessageBox.Show rather than Console.WriteLine. The other problem is that
"Exception" in the catch statement does not catch anything useful. What is
the proper exception to code in the catch statement to catch exceptions from
UpdateHierarchy (and other OneNote 2007 methods)?
try
{
OneNoteApplication.UpdateHierarchy(PCTList.ToString());
}
catch(Exception)
{
// Cannot use MessageBox. Conflict with OneNote.
Console.WriteLine("OneNote 2007 error: ",
Error.hrFileAlreadyExists);
}

How can I use the try/catch facility in C# with OneNote 2007 methods? How
do I code the exception in catch?
Apparently MessageBox is incompatible with OneNote 2007 methods because I
get a compile error when I code using System.Windows.Forms; which is
necessary for MessageBox to work.
I'm not quite sure what exactly you're asking. Could you perhaps post a
small code sample demonstrating what you're trying to do and what
doesn't work?
