Usage

Example code

1 Install via nuget:

ToastNotifications and ToastNotifications.Messages

Install-Package ToastNotifications
Install-Package ToastNotifications.Messages

ToastNotifications v2 is plugin oriented.

Nugget "ToastNotifications" is a core, which contains only main mechanisms for creating and displaying notifications. Predefined messages and other not key functionalities are provided by separate nuggets.

Nugget ToastNotifications.Messages contains basic messages like error, information, warning, success. It's not required in case you want to create your own messages.

2 Import ToastNotifications.Messages theme in App.xaml

<Application.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
            <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/ToastNotifications.Messages;component/Themes/Default.xaml" />
        </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>

3 Create Notifier instance

using ToastNotifications;
using ToastNotifications.Lifetime;
using ToastNotifications.Position;
/* * */
Notifier notifier = new Notifier(cfg =>
{
    cfg.PositionProvider = new WindowPositionProvider(
        parentWindow: Application.Current.MainWindow,
        corner: Corner.TopRight,
        offsetX: 10,  
        offsetY: 10);

    cfg.LifetimeSupervisor = new TimeAndCountBasedLifetimeSupervisor(
        notificationLifetime: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3),
        maximumNotificationCount: MaximumNotificationCount.FromCount(5));

    cfg.Dispatcher = Application.Current.Dispatcher;
});

4 Use provided messages

using ToastNotifications.Messages;
/* * */
notifier.ShowInformation(message);
notifier.ShowSuccess(message);
notifier.ShowWarning(message);
notifier.ShowError(message);

5 Dispose notifier when it's no longer needed

/* * */
notifier.Dispose();
