The VB MsgBox function can not be used in a web application. It calls a
Windows API to display a Message Box on the machine on which the application
is running. ASP.Net is used to create web applications, where the users of
the applications are nowhere near the machine running the app. They are
looking at an HTML document in a web browser. If you want to pop up a
Message Box on the browser, you have to include JavaScript in your ASP.Net
page that does so on the client browser (something like: alert("Your
message");). To do this in ASP.Net, you would use
Page.RegisterSt artupScript() in your CodeBehind. See the following SDK
article for details:

Use a label control (normally hidden; generally at top of
page); when needed, change its back color to something
like light yellow, apply appropriate text, and make it
visible.

With a default property of hidden, it is out of sight
until needed.

And no client side script needed.

In my ASP script I call Javascript for a msgbox after the user has submitted the form of their resume information. I saw this example as a way to get a msgbox onto the client from ASP since server side scripts can't send a msgbox to a client. <% Const DQ = """" Response.Write("<script language=VBScript>" & "MsgBox " & DQ & "Your Resume Information Has Been Sent to companyname" & DQ & "</script>") %>
