ASP.Net provides SignalR[^] which can be very useful when there is a need to implement notifications and real time updates. You can find a lot of tutorials on it as well.

Hello, please i want to edit my profile. With linq i can query the database to retrieve the profile details but when i click on edit, it simply gives an error. The url is displaying "profile/edit/1" but its like that pattern doesn't work since in my index i changed it to not return a list. Below, is what i have tried:
public ActionResult Index()
{
var spc = (from d in db.profiles.ToList()
where d.username == User.identity.Name
select new profile()
{name = d.name,
// other properties
});
return view(db.profile.ToList());
}

Solution 4

To perform so you can do something like this.

1-Use Bootstrap badge for HTML. i.e. http://getbootstrap.com/components/#badges
2- Use Jquery and CSS to create the notification popup.

For a detailed example you can have a look at HERE.

Hope this will help.

There is nothing special about showing the information you want. It is just like any other piece of information you want to show on a web page. If you are a programmer it should be a simple task provided you know what your "notification" is defined as.

For example, if you want to know that people have responded to forum post by a particular user and you want to show how many responses there have been next time the author of the post visits that page. You would define your business logic, ie there have been responses to your post since your last visit. You have this data stored so you would create a query to retrieve this data given the business logic. The data from this query would be passed back to your UI layer for presentation if any of several ways.

The entire process is exactly the same for any data.

People mention SignalR, because that is just a technique for getting the data from you back-end to your front end in "real time"
