Windows Store App Toast Notification Templates – JavaScript, C#, Push Notifications

Background
You’re provided with a number of templates to use when sending Toast Notification with you Windows Store App. This post contains information about every template you can choose (name, picture, description), as well as cut and paste code to create and send the notification. All you need to do is fill in the information fields with the appropriate information. JavaScript                   var notifications = Windows.UI.Notifications; /**************************** * Insert template code here ****************************/ var toast = new notifications.ToastNotification(toastXml); var toastNotifier = notifications.ToastNotificationManager.createToastNotifier(); toastNotifier.show(toast); For additional information, for example how to simultaneously update your tile with 1x1 and 2x1 live tiles, see the quickstart on sending toast notifications in JS.                C# using Windows.UI.Notifications; using Windows.Data.Xml.Dom; /***************************** * Insert template code here ****************************/ ToastNotification toast = new ToastNotification(toastXml);             ToastNotificationManager.CreateToastNotifier().Show(toast); For additional information, see the quickstart on sending toast notifications in C#.     Push Notifications   Each template consists of a call to push.wns.sendToast*(channel, payload, options). For more information and an example of how to do this in the context of an app and cloud service, see the following Azure Mobile Services introduction, and the introduction to push notifications using Azure Mobile Services.
