    This test works fine for me =>

    var scriptType = Type.GetTypeFromCLSID(Guid.Parse("0E59F1D5-1FBE-11D0-8FF2-00A0D10038BC"));
    dynamic objScriptControl = Activator.CreateInstance(scriptType);
    objScriptControl.Language = "vbscript";
    string sScript = "function Myfunction()" + Environment.NewLine +
        "Dim Text, Button, Title, Result" + Environment.NewLine +
         "Text = \"Are you OK ?\"" + Environment.NewLine +
           "Button = vbYesNoCancel+ vbQuestion" + Environment.NewLine +
            "Title = \"Question\"" + Environment.NewLine +
              "Result = MsgBox(Text, Button, Title) " + Environment.NewLine +
    "end function" + Environment.NewLine;
    objScriptControl.AddCode(sScript);
    objScriptControl.Eval("Myfunction()");
