Notification API for windows

Question

Linux has libnotify and OS X has growl. Is there some kind of Notification API for Windows too?

It should be accessible via .Net languages.

Clarification:

Yes I'm looking for an way to send notification to the user, but it won't harm if one can subscribe to certain events with programs too. The linux libnotify uses a system wide D-Bus messaging system, which can handle all kind of events.

Answer 1

Snarl is a Growl look-alike, and Growl has an alpha version for Windows.

Answer 2

I am not familiar with Snarl or Growl, but the Windows OS and the .NET framework has extensive an event/message infrastructure.

Here are some articles for writing custom events in C#: http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2002/04/15/events.html
