About a library for toast notifications from desktop app

[gaxjyxq]

I found the source code from

emoacht/DesktopToast

And I tested the DesktopToast.WinForms code, it worked well.

I want to use the code in VB.NET for Win32 Desktop Form, referenced the "DesktopToast.dll", and convert to the code below.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Private Sub Button_ShowToast_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button_ShowToast.Click
TextBox_ToastResult.Text = ""
TextBox_ToastResult.Text = Await ShowToastAsync
End Sub

Private Async Function ShowToastAsync() As Task(Of String)
Dim request = New ToastRequest With {
.ToastTitle = "DesktopToast WinForms Sample",
.ToastBodyList = {"This is a toast test.", "Looping sound will be played."},
.ToastAudio = DesktopToast.ToastAudio.LoopingCall,
.ShortcutFileName = "DesktopToast.WinForms.lnk",
.ShortcutTargetFilePath = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location,
.AppId = "DesktopToast.WinForms"
}

Dim result = Await ToastManager.ShowAsync(request)

Return result.ToString()
End Function

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

But the line below is not right.

TextBox_ToastResult.Text = Await ShowToastAsync

If I used ShowToastAsync，it can work. How to convert the line "TextBox_ToastResult.Text = await ShowToastAsync();"

The C# code is below.

public partial class MainForm : Form
{
public MainForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private async void Button_ShowToast_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox_ToastResult.Text = "";

TextBox_ToastResult.Text = await ShowToastAsync();
}

private async Task<string> ShowToastAsync()
{
var request = new ToastRequest
{
ToastTitle = "DesktopToast WinForms Sample",
ToastBodyList = new[] { "This is a toast test.", "Looping sound will be played." },
ToastAudio = DesktopToast.ToastAudio.LoopingCall,
ShortcutFileName = "DesktopToast.WinForms.lnk",
ShortcutTargetFilePath = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location,
AppId = "DesktopToast.WinForms",
};

var result = await ToastManager.ShowAsync(request);

return result.ToString();
}
}
