  server side notifications

  Dec 09, 2012 01:10 PM|LINK

  Hi,

   

  I'm building a web site that needs to subscribe to external server side event notifications.

  for example, an external wcf service is updating events for a user in the DB.

  What is the best way to perform notifications on related data for the user?

  Go with a timer and check the DB via polling?

  Go with a timer and invoke the external events wcf service?

  Have a javascript timer to check the wcf service?

   

  Thanks

  The modern way is with SignalR.

  Yes,

  You can go with signalR to notify client from the server side. Check some sample implementation here-
