Solution 1

Using Signal R is a good option .

i just see about SignalR Concept, i think it is not useful for me, becoz it sends all Admin post to all customers. i just want face to face chat( Admin - Customer) chat. chat conversation of one customer will not be see by other customers.Registered customers only allowed to chat.

You can do the same with signalr.

Correct. As OP apparently failed to understand the idea, I added Solution 2 with more detailed explanation of things, and referenced my past even more detailed answer, please see.

SignalR does not "send all Admin post to all customer", who told you that? SignalR is the implementation of the server push, which is badly needed for chats and other products. If you saw somewhere some sample code which does not meet your needs, it means nothing.

In addition to Solution 1:

Please see the explanation of push technology: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_push[^].

Isn't that obvious why traditional client-server model and pull technology predominantly used on the Web is bad for such a basic application as a chat? The client side cannot have notification on any replies on the thread and would have to do permanent polling of the server side, which is too wasteful and not enough responsive at the same time.

SignalR is one of the workaround solutions. Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SignalR[^],
http://www.asp.net/signalr[^].

For some more explanations, please see my past answer, more detailed one: Application 'dashboard' for website accounts[^].
