Is there a way to simply pop up a message box similar to using MessageBox.Show() that will have a text input field for capturing a simple string from a user?

Why not just create a class that does this instead of relying on the old VB functionality?

Create a new form named TextFieldDailog. Add the text field to it.

Create an instance of the TextFiledDialog lets name it text_Dialog.

Show the text_Dialog using the modal call so that you can't do anything else until you deal with the dialog. text_Dialog.Show_Dialog();

Much better then an old VB call.
