/*

Console::WriteLine() I am trying to use message box instead of
Console::WriteLine() to upgrade my code from just using the console to using
GUI.

In the bottom 2 lines, #1 works, but I have hard time to make # 2 works. Can
anybody give a hand here to make the information to be shown on the message
box instead of being shown on the console.

I am using visual C++ .NET 2003

Thanks

Probably you need the namespace from the messagebox. That is probably not
stardard set with your console program.
