The message is in the bottom. I want to make it to appear direct on the screen without clicking the message icon at the bottom. Some times it is appearing on the main screen but most of the times it is at the bottom.
Here is my code:

System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Please select a category");

Can anyone guide please.

>The message is in the bottom - What do you mean by that? The bottom of what?

In ASP.NET?! Are you serious?

As a side note, if you think that this is going to work on a web page, you need to think again.

It's simple: System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox should never be used in ASP.NET. It would show a message on server-side, where the HTTP server is, why? And it will totally block the processing of the page, because no one is going to press a button. :-)

Besides, the example of the message text shown in the question makes no sense. This is not how UI should be developed, not even close.
