    System Tray

    Is it possible for a ASP.NET application to be placed in the system tray with an icon? I know it's possible in a windows application using the notifyicon control. Has anyone done this with an ASP application & if so can you post the example?


    Thanks,
    Corinne

    I guess that wont be possible, coz, an asp.net application actually just sends HTML to the client's browser. You will need to create a windows application program for that, which I guess u already know.

    Maybe adding your site to the users favourite might help.

    Wow, actually this is kind of easy, though a little round-about.

    1. Bookmark the ASP.NET page in I.E.
    2. Go to Favorites and right-click on the bookmark you just made and click copy
    3. Paste the bookmark to the desktop--the icon should appear.
    4. Drag the icon into the tray. Voila!

    You CANNOT drag an icon to the system tray.

    Practice some more.

    Works in Win2k and WinXP. For WinXP, you need to first unlock the taskbar (you can also click the check to display the quick launch tray here if it's currently missing)

    You're confusing the quicklaunch taskbar with the system tray where notification icons reside.

    Reread the original thread before you post:

    LOL. Now who need to 'practice some more'?

    At any rate. The answer is no.

    It would only be possible by having the user download a program to handle such a situation... Click Yes to Download... WARNING: Some Files May Contain Harmful Programs... blah blah...

    But personally, why would you want this?
