Register Background Task with Access

Resolve background access then register and verify a time-triggered task.

  1. Check the application's background access status. If access is already granted, skip ahead to registration; otherwise request access.
  2. Request background execution access when it was not already granted, and capture the resulting status.
  3. Register a TimeTrigger background task with the supplied entry point and an InternetAvailable condition.
  4. Read back the registered background task's details to confirm its trigger and conditions.
What you'll need to have ready
  • name: Unique name for the background task.
  • entryPoint: Fully qualified class name implementing IBackgroundTask.
  • freshnessTime: TimeTrigger interval in minutes.
  • oneShot: Whether the trigger fires only once.
