The Windows Push Notification Services (WNS) enables third-party developers to send toast, tile, and badge updates from their own cloud service. This provides a mechanism to deliver new updates to your users in a dependable and power-efficient way. The topics in this section show you code examples that demonstrate how to accomplish specific tasks that relate to the sending of push notifications.
See the push notification overview for a conceptual discussion of push notification and WNS concepts, requirements, and operation.
