SignalR - MVC app to a SignalR server

Hi all,

This is probably going to sound like a strange/stupid, but I need to accomplish the following:

I have a SignalR service running and hosted on a domain. I also have an MVC application hosted on a separate domain. I now need the two to talk to each other. I can easily generate comms between a WPF app and the SignalR service, but I am having issues with the MVC app because of the way I want to do my comms between them. Basically, I want to have the comms at the controller level in in the MVC app and not via the views or javascript files like all the examples I have found. In a way, I would like to code it similar to what you do for the WPF application.

My questions are:
1 - Is it possible to build the comms like this with SignalR (MVC Controller Level <-> Service and not Javascript <-> Service)?
2 - If so, can someone please point me in the correct direction to go about implementing this?

Thanks in advance!

If you can call it from WPF, you should be able to call it from the MVC controller in exactly the same way.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your response.

Unless there is something wrong with my configuration / setup of my MVC app, I cannot get it to even connect to the service. I will update this response in about an hour or so (when I am busy with the code again) with the error message I receive. Basically it breaks when I try to connect to the service (where it works fine in the WPF application).

Don't forget to post the relevant code as well as the error message. :)

Hi Richard,

Well this is embarrassing. I figured out what my issue was. It was the wrong hub name that I used to connect to the service *_drops head in shame_*.

For everyone out there, SignalR does NOT give you a nice error message when you give it the wrong hub name.

Thanks again Richard!

Embarrasing!!! I used the wrong hub name. Once this was changed to the correct hub name it began connecting properly... :|
