' Create the text for the notification. 
' Use a StringBuilder for better performance. 
Dim HTMLString As New StringBuilder()

HTMLString.Append("<html><body>")
HTMLString.Append("<font color=""#0000FF""><b>Data ready to download</b></font>")
HTMLString.Append("&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=""settings"">Settings</a>")
HTMLString.Append("<br><form method=""GET"" action=notify>")
HTMLString.Append("<SELECT NAME=""lstbx"">")
HTMLString.Append("<OPTION VALUE=""0"">Start now</OPTION><OPTION VALUE=""1"">In 1 hr</OPTION>")
HTMLString.Append("<OPTION VALUE=""2"">In 2 hrs</OPTION><OPTION VALUE=""3"">In 3 hrs</OPTION>")
HTMLString.Append("<OPTION VALUE=""4"">In 4 hrs</OPTION></SELECT>")
HTMLString.Append("<input type=checkbox name=chkbx>Notify completion")
HTMLString.Append("<br><input type='submit'>")
HTMLString.Append("<input type=button name='cmd:2' value='Postpone'>")
HTMLString.Append("</body></html>")

' Set the Text property to the HTML string.
Notification1.Text = HTMLString.ToString()
// Create the text for the notification. 
// Use a StringBuilder for better performance.
StringBuilder HTMLString = new StringBuilder();

HTMLString.Append("<html><body>");
HTMLString.Append("<font color=\"#0000FF\"><b>Data ready to download</b></font>");
HTMLString.Append("&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"settings\">Settings</a>");
