message board or bulletin board

[JohnE]

Hello. Working with ASP.Net and C#. Putting together a portal and the boss
is asking for some type of message board or bulletin board feature that would
be seen when the user first signs in. It would contain the ability have
some general notices for all employees as well as messages to individuals.
So if employee A has a message for employees D, E, F, when they signed in
they would see the message, no others would. Seeking to know if anyone has
any knowledge of a message board or bulletin board? It does not need to be
glitzy with lots of bells and whistles.
Thank you.
John

Hi,
My suggession is you can use silverlight or ajax.
Create a table for storing messages which contains the following columns.
date, message, from, to, Mark as read.
when user A creates a message and sends it to D,E,F then the multiple rows
should be inserted in the table
like this.
date, message, A,D,0
date, message, A,E,0
date, message, A,F,0

And when D login, the apps must search for new messages in the table.

I just gave you an idea. I think that this would help you. If you need any
suggesions ,top post.
