You can use an Asp.Net button to show a MessageBox like this:-

ASP.NET

<asp:button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Confirm" OnClientClick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to continue?');"/>

You can also register your javascript from server side as follows:

C#

protected void lnk_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

      string javaScript ="<script language=JavaScript>\n" +
                   "confirm('Are you sure you want to continue?');" +
                   "</script>";
      Page.RegisterStartupScript("Confirmation", javaScript);
}

No.

MessageBox (if you used it) would show on the server, not the client.
To display a message box on the client, you need to use javascript. See here: Adding Client-Side Message Boxes in your ASP.NET Web Pages[^]
