Answer 1

Yes, we're using it in a tool to let customers upload logs, dumps, etc. to our customer support department. You could use it directly via PInvoke/COMInterop, but I suggest to have a look at SharpBITS.NET, which wraps the BITS interface nicely.

Hey Martin, I would appreciate if you could you put any comments on this question #1831311. – Ogilvie

I know that this is a very old thread but was wondering if there are any alternatives to SharpBITS as it looks to be dead and was last updated in 2011 – Ariana

Try the Windows.Bits NuGet package. It looks to be the most alive. – Zwick

Answer 2

I'm the PM for the BITS team at Microsoft -- and we have a new learn.microsoft.com page that talks about using BITS and C#, plus a brand-new C#/WPF sample on GitHub.

We have an implementation that uses ComImport as I believe the old documentation specified. Is there a benefit to using MIDL and TLBIMP? Currently we have an issue with BITS/WinHttp on Windows 7 defaulting to TLS 1.0, which only seems to be fixable by a registry change - one that I cannot force on my customer computers. – Widner
