You can create your own message box.Because you can't change message box default position of windows forms.See some discussion over this...and last one is the link to create your own messagebox.

Solution 4

You can't.
You can create a Form that looks like a MessageBox and set the Location property to where you want; set the StartPosition property to FormStartPosition.Manual and use the ShowDialog() method to display it as a Modal dialog.

HTML

You can not change the attributes of the message box. You will have to create your own form() and use it as a message box. This way you can define everything about it (position, size, etc)

VB

var form = new Form
                       {
                           StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual, 
                           ShowInTaskbar = false,
                           Location = new Point(100,100)
                       };
        form.ShowDialog();
