generallee5686,
You can always format the string before you make the call to Show. So,
you could do this:
string prompt = string.Format("Answer: {0}", answer);
MessageBox.Show(prompt);
Hope this helps.

generallee5686,
MessageBox doesn't provide this out of the box, but it can be easily
workaround using String.Format method
Message.Box.Show(string.Format("Answer: {0}",answer"));

Basically, yes. The overload
Console.Write (string, params object[])
calls through to TextWriter.Write(string, params object[])
which in turn calls string.Format.
