Ignore my last comment – I’d missed the change from PushNotification to Notification. Eejit.

OK, it’s post-CTP refresh and I’m still having problems.
The emulator seems to make the connection successfully, I paste the generated url into the push tool and give it some parameters to play with, and it makes the connection – the push tool reports notifcation status as “Received”, and almost instantaneously the WP7 app throws a NotificationChannelUnexpectedException. So it’s receiving the message and going splat anyway.

Thanks for the comments. Meanwhile the answer was found in the forum.

It may also be found in the April release notes

In order to get this sample to work with the April Refresh, you need to add you publisher name to the app element in wmappmanifest. Once you do that, it should work again. http://download.microsoft.com/download/D/9/A/D9A6B6ED-D1CF-4FB3-86BD-62A55959175F/ReleaseNotes.htm

Yeah, I can’t upgrade to the new April refresh to figure this out just yet. As soon as I’m updated I will update this post.

Neil: There are changes to Push Notification that apply to the April Refresh CTP that likely weren’t made to this article considering how old it is. I’ll see if I can prod Sgt. Conker into updating the sample. If you’re technologically inclined, you can find what has changed via this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff402545%28v=VS.92%29.aspx. Look specifically for the parts in yellow that say “The below example applies only for the Windows Phone OS 7.0 CTP Refresh…”

Is this sample supposed to run on the April Refresh CTP? It doesn’t.
