How Messagebox Show connecting to the url link

Question

I want to add a link, when the message appears, there is an ok button, when they click it will lead to the target URL link, how do I do it, can you help me

Public Shared Sub NewsInfo()
    MessageBox.Show("this message will appear")
End Sub

I have tried but error

If MessageBox.Show(Program."Demo version", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) = DialogResult.Yes Then
    New Process() With { .StartInfo = { .FileName = "http://www.google.com" } }.Start()             
End If

You don't. The MessageBox class just displays a message. If you want more than that, you need to create your own form and display that. Internally, MessageBox.Show just creates a form with the appropriate controls, calls ShowDialog on it and then returns the appropriate DialogResult. You can do the same with your own form. — jmcilhinney

I think I misunderstood you. I thought you were saying that you wanted to actually display a hyperlink that the user could click. If you're just saying that you want to open a URL then just open a URL. That's not a "link". — jmcilhinney

As for the issue, you say that you get an error but you don't tell us what the error message is or exactly where it occurs. That is never acceptable. That's always relevant information. That said, this part looks nonsensical: Program."Demo version". What exactly are you trying to achieve there? What is Program and what do you think ."Demo version" should do there? — jmcilhinney

If you want to open a URL in the default browser, just call Process.Start(url). Anything else is complicating things unnecessarily. I doubt that has anything to do with your issue though, as indicated above. — jmcilhinney
