Remarks

Using this property you can enable action context menu on WebNotification. Action context menu provides a way for end users to access a list of available actions and perform an action against notification event.

To enable action context menu, simply set the ShowActionDropdown to true then defines the menu items. You can also manipulate the action menu items programmatically at client side, such as during OnActionClick client side event.

Example

The following example shows you how to use action context menu in WebNotification. You need to create a WebService page in the same directory. (For instance, name it NotificationService.asmx, then it will automatically create NotificationService.cs in the App_code folder).The codes below is used GetNotifications method in WebService. To learn more please refer to Using Action Context Menu in See Also section.

C#	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; }

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;
}
