It would depend on your application type... How about some more relevant detail?

Thanks Sergey for your prompt response.

I'm talking about windows forms:

1- First I have to decide what is the form that I want to load the notification from.

2- On the form_load I have to check if the notification should be shown or not (by comparing current date with the follow up date in my db), if yes I have to popup that notify, what about to keep it as a Label on the same form, so it doesn't popup on each load of the form otherwise you have to block it after showing it.

3- This message will be shown 3 days in advance or just on the same day.

You require scheduling mechanism which schedule the activity and at define time trigger the event.

Tried searching for similar library in VB.Net but no luck, what you can do is to download the sample provided in the link and compile it as Library project. This will give you the flexibility to use it in your VB.Net project as well. Meanwhile if i get similar thing i will post it here and you should google as well
