Solution 1

In the string, just use \r\n for add a blank row between the two lines.
Alternatively, just use \n for the next line.

VB.NET

Dim answer as DialogResult

answer = MessageBox.Show("This will make you exit from system.. \r\nContinue??","Exiting system", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon. Question)

if (answer == DialogResult.Yes) then
 'Do something

end if

I am a c# developer by default, so appologies if this doesn't work in this syntax, but this should point you in the right direction.

Dear Prasad. Tenkiu a lot.. Your method is working. Now I know. It must not put anything behind the second line syntax such as messageboxbuton or messageboxicon..if not, the underline blue string will appear..Tq prasad
