Hi,
What I'm asking is the Notification control is a good fit for the scenario I'm describing below.
What I want to do is to notify users of changes and scheduled work to the system. I want to have a control, like a small icon, to indicate when the user has pending messages. That is except when the message is a high priority in which case I want the message to show up.
Also, as each message is viewed the user gets the chance to acknowledge the notification so it won't be seen again. That acknowledgement is stored in the DB and prevents the message from showing up again. (This acknowledgement part seems to be the most difficult to me.)
I can do it as a service or directly to the DB in the application. I'd like to put the thing together as a user control so it can be utilized in different applications with minimal coding.
You know, It thought it was a complex scenario and would take a lot of writeup.
Thanks,
MArk B.
