The Push Notification Server Side Helper Library, a part of
the Windows Phone 7 Push Recipe, provides an easy way to send all three types
of push notification message that are currently supported by Microsoft Push
Notification Services (MPNS): Tile,
Toast, and Raw. These types are described in more detail in the recipe
documentation.
Our main goal here is to simplify the sending of PN
messages from your website to the Windows Phone client. This library helps
developers to send push messages by using only a few lines of code. The library
can be used in an ASP.NET web project or in WCF services to send push
messages to MPNS.
Push Patterns are a generalization of a common use of PN in
an end–to-end solution that includes specific Windows Phone and server-side logic.
This library also includes detailed implementations of common Push
Notifications patterns that describe end-to-end scenarios, such as Rest Push
Counters, Ask to Pin Tile, Schedule Tile, and others. To illustrate the use of
the Push Notification Server Side Helper, we’ve create a WPF application that
acts like a web service, mimicking a third-party server. To enable this, the
WPF application has a WCF service that lets the Windows Phone application
register and communicate with MPNS. The WPF has tabs, each of which represents
a specific Push Pattern that we wish to illustrate.
For more detail on this helper library, see the Windows Phone Developer Blog post.
