Sneak peak of how to run XSockets.NET on top of IIS8 and Windows 2012/Windows 8 using the built-in WebSockets Protocol - Using a MVC4+ View ,Razor. and the coming XSocketsControllerBase<IXBaseSocket> class. More info about XSockets.NET on http://xsockets.net

Foo.cshtml

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

<h2>This is the RazorView for the RealtimeMVC Controller - XSocketsControllerBase<Foo> </h2>

<p>This is a realtime MVC Controller</p>

<div>
    <input /><span></span>
</div>
<div id="messages"></div>


<script>

    var ws;
    $(function () {
        ws = new XSockets.WebSocket("ws://localhost:8860/Foo");


        ws.on(XSockets.Events.open, function (connection) {


            ws.publish("set_Nickname", { value: 'Magnus' });

            console.log("Connected to XSockets using native IIS WebSockets.", connection);
            ws.on("onChatMessage", function (msg) {
                $("<p>").text(msg.text).prependTo("#messages");
            });


            ws.on(XSockets.Events.onError, function (err) {
                console.log("error", err);
            });

            ws.on("onTimerElapsed", function (data) {
                $("span").text(data.date);
            });


        });
        $("input").on("keydown", function (evt) {
            if (evt.keyCode === 13) {
                ws.emit("chatMessage", { text: $(this).val() });
                $(this).val('');
            }
        });

    });
</script>

FooController.cs

    public class FooController : XSocketsControllerBase<Foo>
    {
        // Just return the View (client)
        public ViewResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }

        public JsonResult IvoryBelongsToElephants()
        {
            return new JsonResult()
                {
                    Data = "Ivory Belongs To Elephants",
                    JsonRequestBehavior = JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet
                };
        }

    }

FooXSocketsController.cs

/// <summary>
/// XSockets Controller (Realtime )
/// </summary>
    public class Foo : XSocketController
    {
        public string Nickname { get; set; }
        public void ChatMessage(string text)
        {
            this.SendToAll(new {  text, date = DateTime.Now, nickName = this.Nickname }.AsTextArgs("onChatMessage"));
        }
        public Foo()
        {
            this.OnOpen += Foo_OnOpen;
        }
        void Foo_OnOpen(object sender, OnClientConnectArgs e)
        {
            var timer = new Timer(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 5).TotalMilliseconds);
            timer.Elapsed += (o, args) => this.Send(new { date = DateTime.Now, test = "Hello from state full controller" }, "onTimerElapsed");
            timer.Start();
        }
    }

Looks clean.

Will each session have its own instance of Foo, since you can make use of state/properties in it?

Why does SendAll use AsTextArgs while send don't? They both seem to consume it as an object in the client?

Cheers,

Thanks Daniel, yes , each instance of Foo will have its own session. Foo will act just as a "regular" XSockets Controller. Foo will know of the actual HttpRequest / Session

Regarding SendToAll , ,just the way i wrote it :-)

You can also of'coz do -

this.SendToAll(new { text, date = DateTime.Now, nickName = this.Nickname },"onChatMessage");

Looks good :)
