Toast Notification
Hi Team,
I am trying to use show method of toast notification in my automation, but I am getting below exception.
"The calling thread must be STA, because many UI components require this."
Could you please let me know how to resolve this.

@LaxmiVenkataMownKI believe that these must be shown off of a Windows Form thread based on this error. If you don't have a Windows Form in your solution, you can basically have a hidden one by doing the following. The form must technically be visible for this to work, so make sure it isn't explicitly hidden. It will be invisible to a user however.
- Set the Form's ShowInTaskBar property to False.
- Set the Form's Opacity to 100%.
- Add a button to the form.
- Use the button's Click event to show your toast notification.
- To show the Toast notification in an automation, call the PerformClick method on your Form's button.
