I've recently been checking out the samples for WinRT(C#) for Windows Store. One really cool thing I saw was the Toast Notifications. I can think of a million different uses for them, but not a single one that would also be suitable as a windows store application.

So, is it possible to use Toast Notifications in Windows 8 from regular .Net desktop applications?

  • Doesn't this make us of the Windows.UI.Notifications namespace, which is only available for Windows Store Apps? – wollnyst Oct 04 '12 at 20:37
  • @wollnyst nope, I've used WinRT namespaces in WPF apps – K Mehta Oct 04 '12 at 22:13
  • Wow you save my day. Can you tell me what project configuration you are using? – wollnyst Oct 05 '12 at 04:19
  • It's difficult to do so in comments. You can ask this as a new question and I'll answer it when I get to work and have access to my notes in 14 hours. – K Mehta Oct 05 '12 at 04:52
  • This might be true. For reference: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12745703/how-can-i-use-the-windows-ui-namespace-from-a-regular-non-store-win32-net-app – wollnyst Oct 05 '12 at 11:53
