'Cannot find type System.Resources.ResourceSet in module mscorlib.dll' in windows phone 8.1 app

private void LoginButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
     if(username.Text == "")           
          MessageBox.Show("Enter username");
     else if (password.Password == "")            
          MessageBox.Show("Enter password");
     else if (username.Text == "anve" && password.Password == "123")
     {
          MessageBox.Show("Success !");
          Frame.Navigate(typeof(List));
     }
     else
          MessageBox.Show("Enter Valid Credentials");            
}

I'm creating a login page for my app. I have added the System.Windows.Forms reference and used the MessageBox.Show. But it is giving an error "Cannot find type System.Resources.ResourceSet in module mscorlib.dll".

You can't use Windows.Forms namespace in Windows Phone 8.1 projects.

Use MessageDialog instead

private async void ShowMessageDialog()
{
   MessageDialog msgbox = new MessageDialog("Hello!"); 
   await msgbox.ShowAsync();  
}

or shorter version

await new MessageDialog("Hello!").ShowAsync();
