Remarks

This class is instantiated whenever a remote system (device) is discovered, is updated, or disappears (the instance is referenced as a property of the RemoteSystemAddedEventArgs, RemoteSystemUpdatedEventArgs, or RemoteSystemRemovedEventArgs class).

The properties of the RemoteSystem class are used to determine the operations that can be done on a given remote system.

Properties

Apps	A list of the applications on this remote system that have registered with the Connected Devices Platform.
DisplayName	Gets the machine name of the given remote system.
Id	Gets the unique string identifier for the given remote system.
IsAvailableByProximity	Checks whether the given remote system is available through proximal connection (such as a Bluetooth or local network connection) as opposed to cloud connection.
IsAvailableBySpatialProximity	Checks whether the given remote system is available through spatially proximal connection.
Kind	Gets a String representation of the device type of the given remote system.
ManufacturerDisplayName	Gets the manufacturer name of the given remote system.
ModelDisplayName	Gets the model name of the given remote system.
Platform	Gets a value describing the OS platform that this remote system is running.
Status	Gets the status of this remote system's availability.
User	Gets the User property.

Methods

CreateWatcher()	Returns a RemoteSystemWatcher object with no filters.
CreateWatcher(IIterable<IRemoteSystemFilter>)	Returns a RemoteSystemWatcher object that filters the remote systems it can see. The filters parameter determines which remote systems will be seen.
CreateWatcherForUser(User)	Returns a RemoteSystemWatcher object that operates in the context of the specified User. The user parameter indicates the User to discover devices for.
CreateWatcherForUser(User, IIterable<IRemoteSystemFilter>)	Returns a RemoteSystemWatcher object that operates in the context of a given User and filters the remote systems it can see. The user parameter indicates the User to discover remote systems for. The filters parameter determines which remote systems will be seen.
FindByHostNameAsync(HostName)	Attempts to discover a single remote system specified by the HostName parameter.
GetCapabilitySupportedAsync(String)	Reports whether the RemoteSystem is capable of the given Remote System feature.
IsAuthorizationKindEnabled(RemoteSystemAuthorizationKind)	Checks whether the client device is authorized to discover other users' devices or just same-user devices.
RequestAccessAsync()	Gets the status of the calling app's access to the Remote Systems feature. This method should always be called before an app attempts to discover or otherwise interact with remote systems.
