WPF, Forms or what? Tag it!

An improvement to the solution by Mika:

C#
MessageBox.Show(
    string.Format("Your score is: {0}", variable),
    string.Format(" {0}", Application.ProductName),
    MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);


The use of Application.ProductName is only possible for System.Windows.Forms.

(Please always, always tag your UI library. Is it WPF or Forms?!)

For WPF, you can ether use some constant string instead (better be from resource) or create the same property using application attributes you usually write in "AssemblyInfo.cs".

Thank you very much, Mika.

If the score is for example in an integer variable, you could simply call:
C#
MessageBox.Show("Your score is: " + variable.ToString(), "My game",  MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);

MessageBox.Show("Your score is: " + variable.ToString(), 
                Application.ProductName, 
                MessageBoxButtons.OK, 
                MessageBoxIcon.Information);

Believe or not, but I added two improvements to this code and explained the difference between Forms and WPF as the method is applicable in both. Therefore, I voted 4 for your solution :-)
--SA
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int a, b, c;
a = Int32.Parse(textBox1.Text);
b = Int32.Parse(textBox2.Text);
c = a + b;
MessageBox.Show("Sum of a and b is="+c.ToString(),"addition of two values");
}
