SignalR: Very Simple Example - TechNet Articles - United States (English) - TechNet Wiki

Introduction

You can download the code

here.

This is a very simple example of how we can use SignalR, based on the Microsoft Virtual Academy course "Building apps with ASP.NET 4.5". It can be used as a guide for building a more complex web app. This solution requires NuGet packages to be downloaded. Visual Studio will download the necessary packages automatically. This solution is designed for Visual Studio 2012

Description

This application displays a div shape that the users can drag. The position of the shape in all other browsers will then be updated to match the position of the dragged shape.

As the server component, this web page contains a C# implementation of the SignalR Hub class. As the client component, it has an HTML page using JQuery .

These concepts are associated with applications in real-time gaming and other simulation applications.
