Description
Summary
Replace the current MessageBox.Show() notification with Windows toast notifications for a less intrusive experience.
Motivation
The current MessageBox:
- Steals focus from other applications
- Blocks interaction until dismissed
- Can be disruptive when multitasking
Toast notifications would:
- Appear in the bottom-right corner without stealing focus
- Auto-dismiss after a few seconds
- Allow clicking to bring VS to foreground
- Be visible even when VS is minimized
Implementation
Use Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notifications NuGet package:
new ToastContentBuilder()
.AddText("Breakpoint Hit!")
.Show();Settings
Add a toggle option for notification style:
- MessageBox (current behavior)
- Toast notification
- Both (for users concerned about Windows DND mode suppressing toasts)
Considerations
- Need to add NuGet package dependency
- Could include action buttons ("Dismiss" / "Go to Breakpoint")
- Should work on Windows 10/11
