Examples

See the following code for an example of how to create a remote session and handle join requests.

public async void StartNewSharedExperience() {

    var manager = new RemoteSystemSessionController("Bob’s Minecraft game");

    // register the following code to handle the JoinRequested event
    manager.JoinRequested += async (sender, args) => {
        // Get the deferral
        var deferral = args.GetDeferral();

        // display the participant (args.JoinRequest.Participant) on UI, giving the 
        // user an opportunity to respond
        // ...

        // If the user chooses "accept", accept this remote system as a participant
        args.JoinRequest.Accept();
    };

    // create and start the session
    RemoteSystemSessionCreationResult createResult = await manager.CreateSessionAsync();

    // handle the creation result
    if (createResult.Status == RemoteSystemSessionCreationStatus.Success) {
        // creation was successful
        RemoteSystemSession currentSession = createResult.Session;

        // optionally subscribe to the disconnection event
        currentSession.Disconnected += async (sender, args) => {
            // update the UI, using args.Reason
            // ...
        };

        // Use session ...

    } else if (createResult.Status == RemoteSystemSessionCreationStatus.SessionLimitsExceeded) {
        // creation failed. Optionally update UI to indicate that there are too many sessions in progress
    } else {
        // creation failed for an unknown reason. Optionally update UI
    }
}

Remarks

Every remote session has one participant that is the session's controller. Only the controller can specify options for the session, accept join requests from would-be participants, and remove participants from the session.

Important

You must confirm access to the remote system platform with a call to RemoteSystem.RequestAccessAsync before you instantiate this class.

Constructors

RemoteSystemSessionController(String, RemoteSystemSessionOptions)	Initializes a RemoteSystemSessionController with a custom display name and specified options.
RemoteSystemSessionController(String)	Initializes a RemoteSystemSessionController with a custom display name.

Methods

CreateSessionAsync()	Asynchronously attempts to create a remote session.
RemoveParticipantAsync(RemoteSystemSessionParticipant)	Removes a participant from the remote session.

Events

JoinRequested

Raised whenever another device has discovered and requested access to the remote session managed by this RemoteSystemSessionController.
