Minimal ADF Template
The following application definition file (ADF) template shows the minimum ADF elements required for the application to build successfully. However, there are no subscription classes and notification classes, and there are no rules to generate notifications, so this application will not do anything.
Note
This ADF will compile if you provide a value for the %SystemName% parameter in the instance configuration file (ICF).
This template is intended for those who are familiar with developing Notification Services applications and want a near-empty ADF for starting new applications.
