Asp.net doesn't support MessageBox.. You can use this instead of MessageBox.

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "popup", "alert('" + Your Message here + "');", true);

to use this:

String str = "This is your message.";
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "popup", "alert('" + str  + "');", true);

This way:

private void show(string message)
{
    System.Web.UI.Page page = this.Page;
    ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(page, page.GetType(), "popup", "alert('" + message + "');", true);
}

To use this:

 show("this is your message");

You can not use MessageBox within asp.net, try using Javascript confirm instead. Here is its usage confirmation yes or no message in asp net or you can use it for some other problems too.
