Server
Right-click the Hubs folder, click Add | New Item, select the Visual C# | Web | SignalR node in the Installed pane, select SignalR Hub Class (v2) from the center pane, and create a new hub named ChatHub.cs. You will use this class as a SignalR server hub that sends messages to all clients
using System; using System.Web; using Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR; namespace SignalRChat { public class ChatHub : Hub { public void Send(string name, string message) { // Call the addNewMessageToPage method to update clients. Clients.All.addNewMessageToPage(name, message); } } }
Create a new class called Startup.cs. Change the contents of the file to the following
using Owin; using Microsoft.Owin; [assembly: OwinStartup(typeof(SignalRChat.Startup))] namespace SignalRChat { public class Startup { public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app) { // Any connection or hub wire up and configuration should go here app.MapSignalR(); } } }
