Adds a client to the client (client-ception).
The actual desktop client runs as a local system background server and does not have rights to interact with the user's desktop session (i.e. sending it notifications). So, this PR adds an additional application called
Lanpartyseating.Desktop.Traywhich starts on login and displays a simple tray icon with a tooltip showing how much time is left.This tray app communicates with the main application via a named pipe called
\\.\pipe\Lanpartyseating.Desktop. The service starts a server on this pipe and the tray app is the client. The two communicated over this pipe using a very simple JSON-based protocol.On login, the tray will display a Task Dialog informing the user that the session will last x minutes from the point their badge was scanned at the entrance. It also informs them the exact time they will be logged out at. This dialog is persistent until dismissed with an "Ok" button so that it stays visible until the gamer is in front of the computer. This is necessary because the session will be signed in immediately after a user scans their badge. It will take a few minutes for the gamer to make their way from the entrance to the pc, where they will immediately be faced with the dialog.
Over time, non-intrusive "Toast" notifications that do not steal focus will be sent to the gamer to remind them at 10 minute and 2 minute countdown intervals that their session is ending soon. They will also be sent toasts if their reservation time is extended from the seating management page in the web app.
