How can I implement WebSockets in my ASP.NET MVC application?

You can implement WebSockets in ASP.NET MVC by using the SignalR library, which simplifies real-time web functionality.

What are the steps to set up SignalR in my project?

First, install the SignalR package via NuGet, then configure it in your Startup.cs file and create a Hub class.

Can you give me an example of a simple Hub class?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

public class ChatHub : Hub
{
    public async Task SendMessage(string user, string message)
    {
        await Clients.All.SendAsync("ReceiveMessage", user, message);
    }
}

How do I connect to this Hub from the client side?

You can connect using JavaScript like this:

const connection = new signalR.HubConnectionBuilder()
    .withUrl('/chatHub')
    .build();

connection.start();
