Welcome to the Dotnet SignalR Demo! This repository contains code related to SignalR implementation in a sample application.
SignalR is a real-time communication library provided by Microsoft for ASP.NET applications. It enables bi-directional communication between the server and connected clients in real-time. SignalR handles the complexity of WebSockets, server-sent events, or other techniques based on the client's capabilities to establish a persistent connection and push updates from the server to connected clients instantly.
SignalR is a powerful tool that can be utilized in various scenarios where real-time communication is essential. Some common use cases include:
-
Real-time Notifications: SignalR is ideal for applications that require instant notifications to users about important events, such as new messages, updates, or system alerts.
-
Collaboration and Chat Applications: When building chat applications or collaborative tools, SignalR enables real-time messaging and content sharing among multiple users.
-
Live Feeds and Dashboards: SignalR can be used to implement live data feeds and interactive dashboards, where data is updated in real-time without the need for manual page refreshes.
-
Online Gaming: Multiplayer online games often require real-time updates for player actions, movements, and game events, which SignalR facilitates effectively.
-
IoT and Monitoring Applications: For Internet of Things (IoT) applications and systems monitoring, SignalR can provide instant updates about device status or system metrics.
-
Financial and Trading Applications: SignalR can be employed in financial systems and trading platforms to provide real-time stock updates and trade execution information.
Remember that while SignalR offers many benefits, it's important to use it judiciously and only in scenarios where real-time communication is truly necessary, as maintaining persistent connections can consume server resources.
