MessageBox in ASP.NET does not exist. You have to use JavaScript to render a popup in the browser or use client-side library like jQuery, bootstrap etc... Fortunately, WebForms offers AjaxControlToolkit controls which is a wrapper for standard ASP.NET Server Controls. The AjaxControlToolkit control has a ModalPopupExtender [^]that you can use to display a modal without writing JavaScript yourself.

If you want a pre-built MessageBox like controls in ASP.NET, then you might want to try out my opensource control that I've built many years ago here: A Customized MessageBox, ConfirmBox and FrameBox Controls For ASP.NET WebForms[^]

You can't show MessageBoxes in web apps: C# code always runs on the server, never the client - which means that the user can't see your message box (and you app can;t continue until somebody closes the message b0ox on the server.
Alert is how you talk to the user: MessageBox may appear to work in development, but that is only because the Client and the Server are the same computer - in production,they could be several thousand miles apart, and the client has no idea the server is displaying anything, much less can respond to what it says!
