Developing Subscription Management Interfaces

Subscriber and subscription information is entered into the Notification Services system through a subscription management interface. This interface is often an ASP.NET Web application.

As part of developing a Notification Services application, you usually must develop this interface using the Notification Services subscription management API. This API supports adding, updating, and removing subscribers, subscriber devices, and subscriptions. For more information about using ASP.NET, see ASP.NET in the MSDN Library.

Notification Services also provides views that you can use to manage subscribers, subscriber devices, and basic subscriptions. For more information about Notification Services views, see Notification Services Views.
