NotificationsExtensions

Generate tile, toast, and badge notifications for Windows via code, with the help of IntelliSense, instead of directly using XML.

Supports adaptive tiles and adaptive/interactive toast notifications for Windows 10!

There are three main goals of NotificationsExtensions

• Make it easy to create tile, toast, and badge notifications from your code
• Ensure notification payloads are correctly formatted
• Ensure payloads consume as little space as possible (helping you stay under the 5 KB payload size limit)

NotificationsExtensions does the following...

• Automatically XML encodes string values
• Generates a minimal XML payload to keep payload size low (doesn't unnecessary write values that already match with default value)
• Provides IntelliSense support for all the supported properties/values of adaptive Tiles and adaptive/interactive toasts
• Supports some verification to ensure that your payload is valid

How To: Tile Notifications

Here's a quick example of generating a basic notification. First, you'll need to add the namespace delcaration for Tiles...

using NotificationsExtensions.Tiles;

Then create a new TileContent object...

TileContent content = new TileContent()
{
   Visual = new TileVisual()
   {
      Branding = TileBranding.Name,
      DisplayName = "My notification",
      
      TileMedium = new TileBinding()
      {
         Branding = TileBranding.Logo,
         
         Content = new TileBindingContentAdaptive()
         {
            Children =
            {
                new TileText()
                {
                    Text = "Hello world",
                    Style = TileTextStyle.Body
                }
            }
        }
      }
   }
};

TileNotification notification = new TileNotification(content.GetXml());

// Use typical WinRT API's now
