Remarks

This property allows applications to request that background transfers proceed when only a cellular connection is available and when the device is on battery power. This is only a preference setting. It does not guarantee that transfers will take place under these conditions. The default value is None, which indicates that transfers should occur only when a Wi-Fi connection is available and when the device is connected to external power.

This method may throw one of the following exceptions.

A transfer request’s properties cannot be modified after it has been submitted or disposed.
