C# itself doesn't have such a feature, assuming you're using Winforms, but you can steal one from VB.NET's default libraries (from the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace):

using Microsoft.VisualBasic;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
       var response = Interaction.InputBox("Enter some text!", "Title", "Default text");
    }
}

See MSDN for more info.

You could also create your own window using WinForms (or WPF) if you need it to do something more specific.
