Using MessageBox.

Show function

First here we look at an event handler in the VB.NET language that will show the message boxes in the screenshot sequentially when
the program executes. The MessageBox.Show function is a Public Shared Function type in the VB.NET language and it can be called
without an instance reference. You can invoke MessageBox.Show directly. The method receives different numbers of parameters, and
by specifying certain arguments and the right number of arguments, you can get the desired dialog box.

Public Class Form1
