Remarks
Snapshots are serialized forms of XboxLiveDeviceAddress objects that can be transmitted to remote devices through out-of-band channels such as Xbox Live matchmaking. However, they represent a device's network address information at a particular time, and they can change over time. To avoid unnecessary connectivity problems, you should listen for XboxLiveDeviceAddress.SnapshotChanged events on the local device address to know when its snapshot contents have been updated, and refresh the serialized snapshot anywhere you've transmitted or cached it, so that remote devices always have the latest information.
