Actual screen
screen
1st Selected class is the Console application class which is used for mapping server url
2nd Selected class is the controller class where hub is defined
directories

I am facing a problem when i make an object of call MyHub and call it from controller the function is getting called but nothing is displayed on my HTML page on the other hand when i press send button on screen it calls the same function but the output is also show on the page .Please tell me why is this happening and how to call function from controller so that output is shown on HTMLpage as well.I think I am not specifying hub URL where it should write and that's why it's not calling client side function when i send it directly from controller class instead of calling hub function from client side because in client side chat URL is specified and I think that's why when i call send function from client page client add message is executed.I am unable to find a way to specify address for hub

When I press send button on screen ,This logging message is shown: SignalR: Triggering client hub event 'addMessage' on hub 'MyHub'.".

But when I call it direct from controller in "GetMonitoringProfileLiveLogChart" function this logging message is not shown.

SignalR version 1.1.3

Best Answer

To me it looks like nothing should be displayed on the page, this is due to not having a client side function for your hub bound prior to starting your hub.

Therefore to fix your issue just add your "addMessage" function to the client hub before you do $.connection.hub.start:

chat.client.addMessage = function() {...}

$.connection.hub.start().done(function() {...});

Next you have a few errors in your code:

  1. You're essentially doing document.ready twice, doing $(function() {....}) is essentially document.ready, however you're ALSO doing $(document).ready(function() {...}) inside.
  2. In your hub you're sending to clients via the hubs context. This works, but there's no need to do it. Your method is not static and you should just be able to do Clients.All.addMessage(...).
