Sure, you cannot show an array in a messageBox (its like putting a string array into stirng - cant do).
You have to get all values from an array into a string, then show it in messageBox:

string[] myname = new string[2];
            myname[0] = "Shahid";
            myname[1] = "Hussain";
            string items = null;
            for (int i = 0; i < myname.Length; i++)
                items += myname[i] + Environment.NewLine;
            MessageBox.Show("This is the list:\n" + items);

Hope it helps,

StringBuilder. StringBuilder. StringBuilder.

Good habits, not bad.
