UWP Background Task Error

I want create a Background task which starts when the application starts. For that I use Application Trigger.

MainPage.xaml.cs

    var trigger = new ApplicationTrigger();
    BackgroundManagement.RegisterBackgroundTask("InternetBackgroundTask.InternetBackground", "Internet", trigger, null);
    await trigger.RequestAsync();

BackgroundManagement.cs

    public static BackgroundTaskRegistration RegisterBackgroundTask(string taskEntryPoint,string taskName,IBackgroundTrigger trigger,IBackgroundCondition condition)
    {
        //
        // Check for existing registrations of this background task.
        //

        foreach (var cur in BackgroundTaskRegistration.AllTasks)
        {

            if (cur.Value.Name == taskName)
            {
                //
                // The task is already registered.
                //

                return (BackgroundTaskRegistration)(cur.Value);
            }
        }

        //
        // Register the background task.
        //

        var builder = new BackgroundTaskBuilder();

        builder.Name = taskName;
        builder.TaskEntryPoint = taskEntryPoint;
        builder.SetTrigger(trigger);
        

        if (condition != null)
        {

            builder.AddCondition(condition);
        }

        BackgroundTaskRegistration task = builder.Register();
       
        return task;
    }

Mytask on another project

namespace InternetBackgroundTask
{
public sealed class InternetBackground : IBackgroundTask
{

    public void Run(IBackgroundTaskInstance taskInstance)
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Run Background Task");
    }
}

So when I launch my application I have this error :

Exception thrown at 0x776BE26B (KernelBase.dll) in backgroundTaskHost.exe: 0x04242420 (parameters: 0x31415927, 0x5DE30000, 0x003CED68).

Exception thrown at 0x776BE26B in backgroundTaskHost.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: EETypeLoadException at memory location 0x003CDF18.

Exception thrown at 0x776BE26B in backgroundTaskHost.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: [rethrow] at memory location 0x00000000.

Exception thrown at 0x776BE26B in backgroundTaskHost.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: EETypeLoadException at memory location 0x003CDF18.

I've referenced my background Task in my project and I've added my background Task in my manifest

There are two things wich are not obvious from your snipped:

Have you declared your background task under "Declarations" in your Package.appxmanifest?

And second: In what project type is "InternetBackground.cs"? It should be a Windows Runtime Component
