Add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic, InputBox is in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction namespace:

using Microsoft.VisualBasic;
string input = Interaction.InputBox("Prompt", "Title", "Default", x_coordinate, y_coordinate);

Only the first argument for prompt is mandatory

@hims056 `InputBox` does not natively support masked input. You will need to roll your own input form. – Ozgur Ozcitak Apr 08 '13 at 10:43

Just import `using Microsoft.VisualBasic` so you just write `Interaction.InputBox()` – lost_in_the_source Nov 16 '13 at 18:10
Can the VB input box be given a value to be filled in there from the start? (edit) Nevermind, that's the "default", I see. – Nyerguds Feb 05 '16 at 20:46

@HimanshuJansari For .NET Framework, you can mask input using `PasswordChar`: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/desktop/winforms/controls/how-to-create-a-password-text-box-with-the-windows-forms-textbox-control – phoenix Feb 02 '22 at 16:34

Dynamic creation of a dialog box. You can customize to your taste.

Note there is no external dependency here except winform

private static DialogResult ShowInputDialog(ref string input)
    {
        System.Drawing.Size size = new System.Drawing.Size(200, 70);
        Form inputBox = new Form();

        inputBox.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog;
        inputBox.ClientSize = size;
        inputBox.Text = "Name";

        System.Windows.Forms.TextBox textBox = new TextBox();
        textBox.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(size.Width - 10, 23);
        textBox.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(5, 5);
        textBox.Text = input;
        inputBox.Controls.Add(textBox);

        Button okButton = new Button();
        okButton.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK;
        okButton.Name = "okButton";
        okButton.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 23);
        okButton.Text = "&OK";
        okButton.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(size.Width - 80 - 80, 39);
        inputBox.Controls.Add(okButton);

        Button cancelButton = new Button();
        cancelButton.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel;
        cancelButton.Name = "cancelButton";
        cancelButton.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 23);
        cancelButton.Text = "&Cancel";
        cancelButton.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(size.Width - 80, 39);
        inputBox.Controls.Add(cancelButton);

        inputBox.AcceptButton = okButton;
        inputBox.CancelButton = cancelButton; 

        DialogResult result = inputBox.ShowDialog();
        input = textBox.Text;
        return result;
    }

usage

string input="hede";
ShowInputDialog(ref input);

How do I get the value of the input when calling this method? – Neung Chung Aug 05 '21 at 08:17
@NeungChung it'll be in `input` after the `ShowInputDialog` box is closed. That's why it uses `ref`. – J. Scott Elblein May 30 '23 at 10:24

To sum it up:

There is none in C#.
You can use the dialog from Visual Basic by adding a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic:
1. In Solution Explorer right-click on the References folder.
2. Select Add Reference...
3. In the .NET tab (in newer Visual Studio verions - Assembly tab) - select Microsoft.VisualBasic
4. Click on OK

Then you can use the previously mentioned code:

string input = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.InputBox("Prompt", "Title", "Default", 0, 0);

Write your own InputBox.
Use someone else's.

That said, I suggest that you consider the need of an input box in the first place. Dialogs are not always the best way to do things and sometimes they do more harm than good - but that depends on the particular situation.

+1 for the the link Tomas posted. This one is better than the Virtual Basic InputBox. – Joe.wang Oct 11 '14 at 02:30
Still better than using /subsystem:console... Sometimes you just need very little interaction with the user, and then you can use them, instead of having 90% of your code be for UI. – Nulano Jun 23 '15 at 14:37
I chose the "Use someone else's" option and am happy with the result, from this one: http://www.reflectionit.nl/blog/2003/c-inputbox. Reason I chose that one was the absence of hardcoded size/location values. Also promising, is http://www.csharp-examples.net/inputbox-class/. Both these first two have validation of the entered text. The accepted answer for http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5427020/prompt-dialog-in-windows-forms also looks good, but does not include the input validation feature. – Developer63 Apr 01 '16 at 07:19
The statement "There is none in C#" is misleading at best... these are not language features, they are framework features which are essentially language independent. The only thing "not C#" about it is the namespace, which is merely a label for human consumption. – StayOnTarget Jul 23 '21 at 11:41

There isn't one. If you really wanted to use the VB InputBox in C# you can. Just add reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll and you'll find it there.

But I would suggest to not use it. It is ugly and outdated IMO.

Returns the string the user entered; empty string if they hit Cancel:

    public static String InputBox(String caption, String prompt, String defaultText)
    {
        String localInputText = defaultText;
        if (InputQuery(caption, prompt, ref localInputText))
        {
            return localInputText;
        }
        else
        {
            return "";

Returns the String as a ref parameter, returning true if they hit OK, or false if they hit Cancel:

Not only should you add Microsoft.VisualBasic to your reference list for the project, but also you should declare using Microsoft.VisualBasic; so you just have to use Interaction.Inputbox("...") instead of Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.Inputbox.

Add reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic and use this function:

string response =  Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.InputBox("What's 1+1?", "Title", "2", 0, 0);

The last 2 number is an X/Y position to display the input dialog.

Without adding a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic:

// "dynamic" requires reference to Microsoft.CSharp
Type tScriptControl = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("ScriptControl");
dynamic oSC = Activator.CreateInstance(tScriptControl);

oSC.Language = "VBScript";
string sFunc = @"Function InBox(prompt, title, default) 
InBox = InputBox(prompt, title, default)    
End Function
";
oSC.AddCode(sFunc);
dynamic Ret = oSC.Run("InBox", "メッセージ", "タイトル", "初期値");

See these for further information:
ScriptControl
MsgBox in JScript
Input and MsgBox in JScript

.NET 2.0:

string sFunc = @"Function InBox(prompt, title, default) 
InBox = InputBox(prompt, title, default)    
End Function
";

Type tScriptControl = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("ScriptControl");
object oSC = Activator.CreateInstance(tScriptControl);

// https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mcs/class/corlib/System/MonoType.cs
// System.Reflection.PropertyInfo pi = tScriptControl.GetProperty("Language", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Static | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.CreateInstance| System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.SetProperty | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.IgnoreCase);
// pi.SetValue(oSC, "VBScript", null);

tScriptControl.InvokeMember("Language", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.SetProperty, null, oSC, new object[] { "VBScript" });
tScriptControl.InvokeMember("AddCode", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, oSC, new object[] { sFunc });
object ret = tScriptControl.InvokeMember("Run", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, oSC, new object[] { "InBox", "メッセージ", "タイトル", "初期値" });

You mean InputBox? Just look in the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace.

C# and VB.Net share a common library. If one language can use it, so can the other.

}

Usage:

String output = "";

result = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.None;

result = InputBox.Show(
    "Input Required",
    "Please enter the value (if available) below.",
    "Value",
    out output);

if (result != System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
{
    return;
}

Note this exhibits a bit of auto sizing to keep it pretty based on how much text you ask it display. I also know it's lacking the bells and whistles but it's a solid step forward for those facing this same dilemma.

There is no such thing: I recommend to write it for yourself and use it whenever you need.
