If you only need to input one string at a time, you could use Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.InputBox.
If you need to be able to input more than one string or other things (like a selection from a dropbox or a date from a calendar), you will need to implement your own control.
Update: Here is an SO question that will help you out a bit more. It’s fairly similar to yours in that the answer is the same, but I think your question is different enough to not be considered a duplicate.
