Can i use Azure sIgnalR with MVC 4.0

Question

HI i am using windows application and web application( which is developed in MVC 4.) windows application which we are treating as server and web application which we are treating as a client. For server client communication we are using SignalR, now i wanted to shift my windows application on cloud. And Client will access web application through internet(Remote access). so how communication will happen.does SinglaR support on cloud. ?
Can we use Azure SinglaR to achieve the same. or is there alternative to communicate between server application and WEB application

Answer 1

If you intend to run your windows application as a service on a cloud service, then you can still make use of SignalR hosted in your app. Depending on your requirements, you may be able to make use of the SignalR service where load balancing is handled by Azure instead of having to handle in your windows app. I've put some links down below that you can refer to.

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-signalr/signalr-quickstart-dotnet is a quickstart for utilizing hosted SignalR service with an ASP.NET application
• https://github.com/aspnet/AzureSignalR-samples/tree/master/samples is a list a samples you can review for various scenarios
• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/signalr/overview/getting-started/supported-platforms lists the various platforms supported for the older version of SignalR so you can determine if you requirements will justify any migration

Hope this helps.
