Public NotInheritable Class RemoteSystemWatcher

Inheritance: Object Platform::Object IInspectable RemoteSystemWatcher

Attributes: ContractVersionAttribute MarshalingBehaviorAttribute

Windows requirements

Device family	Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (introduced in 10.0.14393.0)
API contract	Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract (introduced in v3.0)
App capabilities	remoteSystem

Remarks

This class is instantiated when the static method CreateWatcher is called. Objects of this class begin watching activity when the Start method is called and stop when Stop is called, when the app exits or is suspended by the system, or if an error occurs.

Important

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

Properties

User	Represents the User that the RemoteSystemWatcher intends to see devices for.

Methods

Start()	Starts watching for discoverable remote systems. The discovery process runs until the Stop method is called or an error occurs. A RemoteSystemWatcher object can have its Start method called again at a later time.
Stop()	Stops watching for discoverable remote systems.

Events

EnumerationCompleted	This event is raised when the initial remote system discovery process completes.
ErrorOccurred	This event is raised when an error occurs during discovery. The discovery process will continue if possible. For example, if the error occurs with a value of RemoteSystemWatcherError.InternetNotAvailable (see RemoteSystemWatcherError), proximal discovery will continue because the error applies only to cloud discovery (see RemoteSystemDiscoveryType).
RemoteSystemAdded	The event that is raised when a new remote system (device) is discovered.
RemoteSystemRemoved	The event that is raised when a previously discovered remote system (device) is no longer visible.
RemoteSystemUpdated	Raised when a remote system (device) that was previously discovered in this discovery session changes from proximally connected to cloud connected, or the reverse. It is also raised when a remote system changes one of its monitored properties (see the properties of the RemoteSystem class).
