VB.NET 2022 Client notification program
How to create a client notification program that will send a popup message to a worker when a client arrives to our office in vb.net 2022. The receptionist will sign the client in and assign a worker from the information in a sql database. If the worker is available the program will send the worker a popup message by the computers IP address with the information in the database.
or you can use the included msg.exe command line application
MSG {username | sessionname | sessionid | @filename | *}
[/SERVER:servername] [/TIME:seconds] [/V] [/W] [message]
username Identifies the specified username.
sessionname The name of the session.
sessionid The ID of the session.
@filename Identifies a file containing a list of usernames,
sessionnames, and sessionids to send the message to.
* Send message to all sessions on specified server.
/SERVER:servername server to contact (default is current).
/TIME:seconds Time delay to wait for receiver to acknowledge msg.
/V Display information about actions being performed.
/W Wait for response from user, useful with /V.
message Message to send. If none specified, prompts for it
or reads from stdin.
I would not reinvent the wheel for the part trying to send a popup on a computer. I would use Teams to do it.
You would only need to get the data from the database and make something that copies to the clipboard for the receptionist to paste in Teams Chat.
If your employees are using different devices, Teams would always be reachable!
