This tutorial demonstrates how to use Action context menu in WebNotification. Action context menu provides a way for end users to access a list of available actions and perform an action against notification event.

Drag WebNotification control from ToolBox into the WebForm.

Create a WebService page in the same directory and name it "NotificationService.asmx". It will automatically create "NotificationService.cs" in the App_code folder. WebNotification control will look for GetNotifications method in the WebService. Use the following code for GetNotifications method:

Copy Code

[WebMethod]
public WebNotificationEventCollection GetNotifications(WebNotificationEventArgs e)
{        
   WebNotificationEventCollection collection = new WebNotificationEventCollection();        
   WebNotificationEvent evnt = new WebNotificationEvent();

   evnt.CaptionText = "Samples";        
   evnt.ContentText = "Hello world from WebNotification!\nCurrent time is:" + DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString();

   collection.Notifications = new WebNotificationEvent[] { evnt };        
   return collection;
}

Open WebNotification Designer and set the following properties of WebNotification control:

Properties	Values
ServiceType	WebService
ServiceUrl	NotificationService.asmx
ShowActionDropdown	True

Add some menu items in Items property and specify a function name for OnClick event.

Add client side script for OnClick event:

JavaScript	Copy Code
function doClick(mi) { alert("Clicked : " + mi.Name); }

Run the page. Menu items will be displayed when Action context menu is clicked.

When the menu item is clicked, an alert box will be displayed.
