How do i create a popup notification above the taskbar like MSN
messenger and other software using VB??

Is it easier to do this in VB or VB.Net? Directions and links to source
that does this will be appreciated.

Well... since you said "VB or VB.Net", I'll post this sample.... extremely
easy. Tip on the sample...... he's treating a form as a class... save your
time and use it like he does, instead of attempting to merge it all into one
form. If used "as is", it's a breeze.

While there, I noticed this... if I'm reading correctly, it's built on
Framework version 1.0

open
