C# Socket.IO Server?

[MattCruikshank]

I'd love to have a C# Socket.IO Server, even if it only supported a
WebSocket connection from the latest Chrome.

...would anyone care to share? :-)

me too!

I needed something working quickly so went with signalR.

But I didn't like the client side syntax when compared to socket.io….

So much so that I wrote a little wrapper making my client side code look like socket.io

I only needed a bit of the functionality as you can see.

window.io = do ->

  config = transport: 'longPolling'

  connect = (name) ->

    hub = $.connection[name]

    emitQueue = []; clientId = null

    $.connection.hub.start transport: config.transport, ->

      clientId = @clientId

      while item=emitQueue.shift()

        hub[item.name].apply hub, item.args

      hub.connect?()

    clientId: -> clientId

    on: (name, callback) ->

      f = ->

        callback.apply(hub, Array().slice.call(arguments))

      hub[name] = f

      callback() if name is 'connect' and clientId?

    emit: ->

      args = Array().slice.call arguments

      name = args.shift()

      if clientId

        hub[name].apply hub, args

      else

        emitQueue.push name: name, args: args

  connect: connect, config: config

socket = io.connect('command') # signalR's hub

socket.on 'hello', ->

  socket.emit 'hello', from: 'client'

  console.log "Received hello form server"

It would be great to see socket.io available for pure .NET apps.

I'm working on a sample proof of concept socket.io protocol for asp.net 4.5+ and iis8.

Partial implementation can be found at  https://gist.github.com/2769940 and discussion at  http://jabbr.net/#/rooms/aspnet 

It is at a very early stage so everything is crammed in one file for now.
