You need to use the + operator to add strings together:

MessageBox.Show("bla bla" + myTextBox.Text + " bla bla " + someotherString +
" bla .")

Actually (for clarity), he should use the "&" for string concatenation and +
for mathmatical addition. Yes, the "+" will work, but the "&" is more self
documenting and has become a VB standard over the years.
