Hi,
I've been trying to do a messagebox in a controller in asp.net mvc, but every time I type MessageBox or MsgBox it doesn't give me the option to import a namespace...
What can I use that would be similar to a MessageBox?

A:
the MessageBox functionality is provided by the System.Windows library which is not available in the ASP.NET MVC context, since your site is running within a browser.
Instead, you should use a javascript library to show a message box.
You could use the following in order to display a message box
alert('Hi there')

well I need to be able to see what's going on in the backend, I can't really alert backend variables from javascript while the backend code is running.

you mean you want the user to take a decision which the backend will use in order to render or work on something?

you could render out a script tag as a actionresult that has
alert('{0}'); where the placeholder is you message

Message box can be shown using Javascript, you can write your own HtmlHelper for this or have a partial which takes the message as input and diplays it, in this way you can reuse your partial

I suggest using the jQuery UI dialog. It's incredibly easy to use, very powerful, and really easy to style.
