Hi Friends,

I am creating a forum using asp.net,c#

Now i want to show a popup window when someone post a message on the forum.

I do like to do this by checking sql table for new entries.

You need another application to interface to have an icon in the system tray. Nice reference at: http://msdotnetsupport.blogspot.com/2008/02/cnet-application-windows-system-tray.html[^]

If you want to do using web, then you have to use ajax and regularly check for changes. If you found new messages then use popcontrol of ajax, this solution will be browser window wise i.e if you minimize browser popup will not show.
If you want system tray message then you have to develop desktop based application which will regularly check new messages and pop up if found new messages here are some examples
TaskbarNotifier, a skinnable MSN Messenger-like popup in C# and now in VB.NET too[^]
Form appearance effect and notification window[^]
