Launch a Toastnotification in a WPF app

Question

I created a WpfApplication in C# (with Visual Studio Community 2015) and i'd like to send some windows 10 notifications. I think that I'm supposed to use "ToastContent" then add it into a "ToastNotification",...

I've add "Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notification" but I can't add "Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI" (that I think is needed to display the notification). It says :

Could not install package 'Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp 1.2.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework.

What can I do to install this package ? Or is there another solution to launch a windows 10 notification ?

Thank you :)

are you creating Universal Windows App or just regular WPF app? — Paweł Łukasik

It is a regular WPF app : File > New > Project > Templates/Visual C#/Windows/Classic Desktop > WPF Application. — MBek

then I think you can't use Universal Windows' reference (Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp) in such project. — Paweł Łukasik

I think it's somehow possible and that's why i'm supposed to use Microsoft.Toolkit.UI instead of Windows.UI — MBek

Ok, after a few hours of searching, this is kind of easy...

Step 1 : Unload the projet then add to the first property group this element : <targetplatformversion>10.0</targetplatformversion>

Step 2 : Reload the projet

Step 3 : Add references to your project "Windows > Core > Windows.Data & Windows.UI"

Step 4 :

string xml = $@" <toast> <visual> <binding template='ToastGeneric'> <text>Some title</text> <text>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</text> </binding> </visual> </toast>"; XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); doc.LoadXml(xml); var toast = new ToastNotification(doc); ToastNotificationManager.CreateToastNotifier("ToastDesktop").Show(toast);

Enjoy :) !
