install Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Client Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.ServiceBus

Add app.SignalRStartUp(); into Startup Class

Copy Scripts/js/SignalrJs into QuickSlver Project

Open QuickSilver.js and intialize JS library by adding line SignalR.init(); after Recommendations.init();

We need to add references for Scripts/jquery.signalR-{version}.js, I bundled this bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("/bundles/jquerysignalr").Include("/Scripts/jquery.signalR-{version}.js")); and added @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquerysignalr") into _Layout.cshtml

This should be added after JQuery Files, and remove old JQuery files

Project is ready to stat working with.

Tom Implement this flow, I added a simple form,

Views/Start/Index.cshtml and added following HTML, so form can be posted

@using (Html.BeginForm("Index", null, new { node = Model.StartPage.ContentLink }, FormMethod.Post)) {

}

and updated the start controller

[CommerceTracking(TrackingType.Home)] [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get | HttpVerbs.Post)] public ViewResult Index(StartPage currentPage, string email = "") { var viewModel = new StartPageViewModel() { StartPage = currentPage, Recommendations = this.GetHomeRecommendations().Take(6), Promotions = GetActivePromotions() };

        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(email))
            InviteFreinds(email);

        return View(viewModel);
    }

    private void InviteFreinds(string email)
    {
        var mailService = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IMailService>();
        var signalRManager = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IPixieCoViewingManager>();
        var link = signalRManager.StartPresenterSession();
        mailService.Send("Join me", link, email);

    }
