When I click a button, I want a box to popup on the screen and display a simple message. Nothing fancy really. How would I do that?

In Visual Studio 2015 (community edition), System.Windows.Forms is not available and hence we can't use MessageBox.Show("text").
Use this Instead:
var Msg = new MessageDialog("Some String here", "Title of Message Box");
await Msg.ShowAsync();
Note: Your function must be defined async to use above await Msg.ShowAsync().
Why not make use of a tooltip?
private void ShowToolTip(object sender, string message)
{
new ToolTip().Show(message, this, Cursor.Position.X - this.Location.X, Cursor.Position.Y - this.Location.Y, 1000);
}
The code above will show message for 1000 milliseconds (1 second) where you clicked.
To call it, you can use the following in your button click event:
ShowToolTip("Hello World");
