The easiest solution is to create a form that will close on timer_tick

private int interval = 0;
private string message = "";

public msgBox(string msg = "", int i = 0)
{
    InitializeComponent();
    interval = i;
    message = msg;
}

private void MsgBox_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (interval > 0)
        timer1.Interval = interval;

    lblMessage.Text = message;
    lblMessage.Width = panel1.Width - 20;
    lblMessage.Left = 10;
}

private void Timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.Close();
}

private void Panel1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
    ControlPaint.DrawBorder(e.Graphics, this.panel1.ClientRectangle, Color.DarkBlue, ButtonBorderStyle.Solid);
}

Method to use in main form

   private void showMessage(string msg, int interval = 0)
    {
        msgBox mb = new msgBox(msg, interval);
        mb.ShowDialog(this);
    }

Call it

  showMessage("File saved");
