Remarks

In previous releases, only privileged apps from network operators could create a NetworkOperatorTetheringManager object and use it to control tethering. In this release, any app can create the object by calling CreateFromConnectionProfile. In order for the call to succeed, however, the app must have the appropriate Wi-Fi control device capability declared in its manifest. The following example shows part of a manifest with the necessary DeviceCapability tag, with the wiFiControl attribute.

<Capabilities>
  <DeviceCapability Name="wiFiControl"/>
</Capabilities>

If the wiFiControl device capability is not set in the manifest, then calls to CreateFromConnectionProfile fail by throwing an exception.

Your code can determine whether the capability is set at runtime by calling GetTetheringCapabilityFromConnectionProfile. If DisabledBySystemCapability is returned, then the manifest does not set the required device capability. Note that even if Enabled is returned, your code should be written to handle errors and exceptions, since tethering capability can change at any time, outside your app's control or notice.
