Can I upload file to skydrive use BackgroundUploader?

Question

Hi all,

In Metro app, there is SDK for uploading files to SkyDrive, that is LiveConnectClient.UploadAsync(...). However, since the metro app would be suspended by system, in order to upload file even the app is suspended, so I wish to use BackgroundUploader to do so. I found that only RESTful api might meet requirements of BackgroundUploader, that is it is http request:

POST https://apis.live.net/v5.0/me/skydrive/files?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN

Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=A300x

--A300x
Content-Dis name="file"; filename="HelloWorld.txt"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

Hello, World!
--A300x

Is it possible for me to convert this POST RESTful api to BackgroundUploader, and could you please show me the SAMPLE CODE, or other solution available? Thanks a lot!

Hi Dongjjing,

It looks like you should be able to use BackgroundUploader to upload to SkyDrive by setting the appropriate headers in the BackgroundUploader object. You should be able to get more information about the specific headers needed on the Live Connect Developer Center and forums.
