I too have similar question as Ben asked. Can I use background transfer API to call my WCF or Web API service to get JSON file to the client? I want to get that JSON from the service and I want to store the data in app's SQLite DB. is it possible with background transfer API?

Also, I want to use this background transfer API in a background task and want to register it with time trigger so that user no need to initiate the process every time. By the time user opens the app, he will see latest information/data (as background transfer API executed periodically in BG Task). Is it something possible to achieve?

Thanks for answering in advance!

Now this is specific for up/downloading files. What if I have a WCF service to up/download information, can I create my own implementation of DownloadOperation etc, that basically encapsulates the WCF process? Reason I ask is when you have a WCF service for up/download info, when a RT app has nothing to do (while another thread is running the WCF up/down_, it goes to sleep, and breaks the WCF process. If the WCF process could be run as a Background up/down - load, it would continue ebven if the app ges to sleep.
