Events
Watcher events are raised synchronously from the underlying Device Watcher, and so follow the same rules and guidance as the WinRT Windows.Devices.Enumeration.DeviceWatcher type. In addition, we recommend the following:
- Do not perform any long-running work inside an event handler.
- Do not create or destroy any virtual devices, loopbacks, or network connections from within a handler, and do not update properties in any way which would cause additional PnP events to be raised.
- When in doubt, hand the data off to a worker thread and return from the handler quickly.
