Developing Custom Notification Services Components

You can create a complete notification application using standard Notification Services event providers, content formatters, and delivery protocols. However, Notification Services also provides APIs for developing custom versions of these components, so that you can tailor them to your requirements.

Note

For added security, you can use the Caspol.exe utility provided by Microsoft Visual Studio .NET in order to set appropriate code access permissions on the assemblies containing event providers, content formatters, and delivery protocols. Notification Services assemblies require the FullTrust permission set. You must determine the appropriate permissions for any custom assemblies you create or purchase.
