N:Windows.Devices.WiFiDirect |
winrt namespace |
Contains classes that support connecting to associated Wi-Fi Direct devices and associated endpoints for PCs, tablets, and phones.
You can use the WiFiDirectDevice class to establish a socket connection with other devices that have a Wi-Fi Direct (WFD) capable device. You can call the GetDeviceSelector method to get the device identifier for a Wi-Fi Direct device. Once you have a reference to a WiFiDirectDevice on your computer, you can call the GetConnectionEndpointPairs method to get an EndpointPair object and establish a socket connection using classes in the Windows.Networking.Sockets namespace.
You can add a handler for the ConnectionStatusChanged event to be notified when the connection has been established or disconnected.
Only one app can be connected to a Wi-Fi Direct device at a time.
You must enable the Proximity capability to communicate with Wi-Fi Direct devices.
