Hi Stalker! (especially since I don't know who you are :-) ) This is tested and works with the latest PUBLICALLY available version of Windows 8 at the time of publishing. It is definitely not production ready for reasons mentioned in the article. (See the NOTE sections in the article). You cannot deploy this as is without making the changes mentioned, so no... it is not a shrink-wrapped ready to go solution. You do have to do some additional work to this.

Needing to Implment with Win8 RC — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 01:50:57 GMT

jpsanders, really, I'm not stalking you.

Just wondering if you've tested this with the latest windows 8 RC? I had another review today with the windows store guys and they banished my polling loop and insist I use push notificaiton to let me app know it's time to download more data.

Any more recent link with full examples that include server code (asp.net). I visual studio solution would be nice as well as words like "use this in production" are helpful because I do want to build something for production.

Thanks for all your efforts on the forums.

Hi Jeff,

I am using your code to send notifications. I modified the sid and secret values in the sample code but I am getting a web exception with the message "Operation timeout error" at the line

string response = client.UploadString("login.live.com/accesstoken.srf", body);

I am unable to login to the site https://login.live.com/ using my Microsoft ID. Is this could be the reason? If so, where should I request to get access to the site? Please let me know.

Thanks in advance
