This tutorial demonstrates how to pass custom properties to be used in WebNotification.

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();     
        evnt.Properties["CustomerId"] = "ALFKI";

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

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

Product	Sample Location
ServiceType	WebService
ServiceUrl	NotificationService.asmx

Open WebNotification Designer, add an event handler for OnNotify client side event.

Add the following code for OnNotify client side event:

Script

Copy Code

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function WebNotification1_OnNotify(controlId, notifyObject)
{
   var WebNotification1 = ISGetObject(controlId); 
   alert(notifyObject.Properties[0].Key + " = " + notifyObject.Properties[0].Value);
   return true;
}
</script>

Run the page. The custom properties' key and value will be displayed in an alert box on OnNotify client side event.
