Will Service Calls be made in NetworkStatusChanged Event when app is in Suspend State?

Question

Hi,

In my app, I am using following code for detecting network change.

NetworkInformation.NetworkStatusChanged += NetworkInformation_NetworkStatusChanged;

In NetworkInformation_NetworkStatusChanged event handler, I need to call a webservice ,when app is in suspend state and network is available.Is it possible ?

No, What you will want to use is a trigger for a background task.

You can respond to the system triggers specified on this page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.applicationmodel.background.systemtriggertype.aspx

NetworkStateChange is one of the events that can trigger a background task.

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined objects and unknown namespaces.
