Attributes and Elements

Attributes

Attribute Description Data type Required Default value
id

integer Yes None
lang

The target locale of the XML payload, specified as a BCP-47 language tags such as "en-US" or "fr-FR". The locale specified here overrides any other specified locale, such as that in binding or visual. If this value is a literal string, this attribute defaults to the user's UI language. If this value is a string reference, this attribute defaults to the locale chosen by Windows Runtime in resolving the string.

Parent Element Description
binding

Specifies the tile template. Every notification should include one binding element for each supported tile size.

 

Remarks

The body of the text element can be expressed in two ways:

  • As a literal string; for instance, <text id="1">Hello world!</text>.
  • As a string reference, using the "ms-resource" prefix; for instance, <text id="1"> ms-resource:hello</text>. When using the "ms-resource" prefix, the string identifier is referenced in the app's Resources.resjson (Windows app using JavaScript) or Resources.resw file (C#/C++).
