Windows 10 - Background Agents/Services?

Question

I'm writing a Windows 10 Universal Application, and got to the point where I would like to implement a background service (the application connects to a variety of Bluetooth LE devices, and the Notify characteristics would need to, obviously, notify the device).

But I can't find the BackgroundAgent project definition for Windows 10 apps. Is it deprecated? What must be used instead of that?

Answer 1

Instead of a specific Background Agent project type (used in Silverlight projects), you need to make a Windows Runtime Component and implement IBackgroundTask -- see the Quickstart on MSDN
