Hi guys,

When win 8 / 8.1 enter or exit connected standby, I want to receive the message and then to do something to keep my app working well. But I found that there's no event or message that a windows app can receive.

Any one knows how to detect that win 8 / 8.1 enter or exit connected standby mode?

Yes, you can have a background task start execution on NetworkStateChange. See SystemTrigger class:

If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.

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.
