Is there an (easy) way to display desktop alerts (I don't know if that is
what they are generally called but that is what Outlook appears to call them)?

I found an article on the code project web site that appears to do what I
need to do. One thing that I have noticed is that the messages do not stack
(which is something that I am looking for) meaning that if more than one
message is displayed the second popup will not be displayed above the first
one. I could probably try to figure out a way to do this with the sample
code given plenty of time. I wasn't sure if there was something in the 2.0
framework that I had not found yet that would solve this problem.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Hi Jason,

If you need to host a message queue in your app and display the desktop
alerts one by one, you can try to use the Queue Class in .NET framework.
Please check the following link for more information.

Also, you can use MSMQ to queue messages. But you have to have MSMQ
installed on that machine.
