Server.Mappath could only be used in asp.net applications.

If it is asp.net application try.

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(Path)

Response.Write writes a string to the response stream with another saying basicly in page in asp.net

In windows forms you can use MessageBox.Show to show messages.
