  Is it good practice to call statice methods in the Hub class

  Jul 14, 2014 04:06 PM|MrJRema|LINK

  Is it good practice to call static methods in the Hub class? and if so should I put a lock around the static method? My goal is to send a message from to the client based on an event that is fired outside the hub class asynchronously.

  Hi MrJRema,

  Thanks for your post.

  If necessary, you can use the signalR static method to send message to clients. However, you should use the

  GlobalHost.ConnectionManager.GetHubContext to access the context of connection like below.

  public static void StaticTest()
          {
              var context = GlobalHost.ConnectionManager.GetHubContext<ChatHub>();
              context.Clients.All.addMessage("yourmessage");
          
          }

  Besides, I think we need not set a lock to the static method that because every client can call the method independently.

  Thanks.

  Best Regards!
