You also encounter this if you run an Application on a Scheduled Task in Non-Interactive mode.

As soon as you show a Dialog it throws the error:

Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application.

You can see its a MessageBox causing the problem in the stack trace:

at System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.ShowCore(IWin32Window owner, String text, String caption, MessageBoxButtons buttons, MessageBoxIcon icon,  MessageBoxDefaultButton defaultButton, MessageBoxOptions options, Boolean showHelp)

Solution

If you're running your app on a Scheduled Task send an email instead of showing a Dialog.

You can t show dialog box ON SERVER from ASP NET application  well of course tehnically you can do that but it makes no sense since your user is using browser and it can t see messages raised on server  You have to understand how web sites work  server side code  ASP NET in your case  produces html  javascript etc on server and then browser loads that content and displays it to the user  so in order to present modal message box to the user you have to use Javascript  for example alert function  Here is the example for asp net   https   www madskristensen net blog javascript-alertshow e2809dmessagee2809d -from-aspnet-code-behind
