The caller is not required to sign-in to the System.Net.PeerToPeer.Collaboration infrastructure for this method to complete successfully. A PeerInvitationResponse from the invitee is not the same as the invitee accepting the invitation to collaborate. If an invitation is sent to a remote peer that has not installed the application, the invitation is automatically declined.

Notes to Callers:

Additional overloads are defined on the Peer class instead of the subclasses PeerContact and PeerNearMe.

Calling this method requires a PermissionState of Unrestricted. This state is created when the peer collaboration session begins.
