Stackoverflow Style Notifications in asp.net Ajax

Question

When you get a badge or aren't logged in to stack overflow there's a groovy little notification bar at the top of the page that lets you know there's something going on.

I know the SOflow team use JQuery, but I was wondering if anyone knew of an implementation of the same style of notification system in asp.net AJAX.

On a side note, what's the "official" name for this style of notification bar?

In this post ( http://www.pieterg.com/post/2010/05/24/ASPNET-and-Stackoverflow-Type-Notification-Bar.aspx ) Pieter Germishuys explains how to implement the functionality using Dmitri's Smirnov plugin ( http://www.dmitri.me/blog/notify-bar/ )

Really easy !
