How do I show a toast notification from a WPF application?

Tags:

wpf

I am building a WPF 4 application and I want to display a message in a nicely formatted box in a separate window in the bottom righthand corner of the screen.

I really like the popup that Evernote has whenever the application syncs with the main server.

How do I do this?

Do I just create a new window in my application and new up window displaying my message and then use a timer to close it, or is there a better way?
