In my WPF application, I have a MessageBox which is supposed to show
"your lucky numbers are i and j"

(where i and j are some numbers present in the local variables of integer type)

This is my code,

MessageBox.Show(string.Format("your lucky numbers are", i + 1, "and", j + 1));

Any help would be much appreciated. thanks

just Simply put "your lucky number are" + (i+1).ToString() + " and " + (j+1).ToString()); instead of using string.Format

Using string.Format is the recommended solution rather than concatenating strings like you suggested. That is what string.Format is there for.
