Microsoft ASP.NET in the recent times has focused on creating real time functionalities for ASP.NET developers where they introduced their new library called SignalR. And this library is said to have turning the head of all the web development experts. Since the demand of web application with real time functioning is increasing, the need to have effective real time library is being met by Microsoft organization. It is an open source library available on GitHub.
It is a library for ASP.NET Development Specialist which helps in simplifying the process of developing real time functionality in web applications. This functionality has the ability to have server code push content to the connected clients and become available rather than having the server to wait for a client to request new data.
SignalR library can be used for building real time web functionality for any web application developed with ASP.NET technology. At Helios, we have started working on a platform using SignalR library and our developers indeed find this library very convenient to have the desired functionality.

The library for ASP.NET development uses WebSocket transport. It falls back to the older transports wherever necessary. Now as a ASP.NET developer you can write your application using WebSocket directly through SignalR library. This will save a lot of effort as you won’t need to implement extra functionalities. You will not have to separate code path for older clients where it will continue to update the WebSocket to support changes in the underlying transport. This will provide consistency in development and interface across the version of WebSocket.
This library is an abstraction of transport that need to perform real time functionality. The SignalR connection starts at HTTP and then taken forward to the WebSocket if it is available. WebSocket proves to be an ideal transport for SignalR library availing an efficient use of server memory for ASP.NET Development experts.
This depends on the support offered by HTML5 and if the client browser does not offer support for HTML5 then it shall use the older transports automatically. There are two functions for HTML Transports:
The below given two transports are based on the comet web application model that are offered in functionality of SignalR library. This maintains a long held HTTP request that the server can use to push data to the client server without specific requests. The two transports are:
The SignalR API comes with two modes of communication. These models are for communication between the clients and server.
If you are developing a web application with ASP.NET technology, then choosing this new library can avail you with convenient in development and also fasten the development cycle. It provides with connections and hubs for communication models which makes this library one of the most effective libraries for building real time functionalities.
We hope this was a good brief of what Signal Library has for ASP.Net developers. If you are looking to Outsource web development with ASP.NET Technology, then get in touch with us. We will use the latest libraries and functionalities to avail you with the most high end solution.
