Getting started with SignalR using ASP.NET Framework

SignalR is way to have bi-directional/live communication between client and server.

Install NuGet package: Microsoft ASP.NET SignalR.
It will add SignalR JavaScript

Now lets add Startup class in root directory, if not available in the project

using Microsoft.Owin;
using Owin;

[assembly: OwingStartup(typeof(SignalRDemo.Startup))]
namespace SignalRDemo
{
    public class Startup
    {
        public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
        {
            app.MapSignalR();
        }
    }
}

Now add SignalR Hub to serve the client.

namespace SignalRDemo
{
    public class SignalRHub : Hub
    {
        public static void SendNotifications()
        {
            // todo: after hub started by client
        }
    }
}

Now add SignalR script on client page where we want live interaction.

<script src="/Scripts/jquery.signalR-2.0.2.js"></script>
    <script src="~/signalr/hubs"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">

        $(function () {       
            var hub = $.connection.signalRHub;
            hub.client.sendNotifications = function (message) {
                // todo: client
            };

            $.connection.hub.start({ transport: 'auto' }, function () {
            });
        });
    </script>
