Use Signalr

3

Well I'm starting to venture into Signalr . I've decided to follow this Tutorial .

Well after doing all the steps, running the project gives me the following error:

  

Unhandled exception at line 35, column 13 in   http: // localhost: 54051 / Index.html

     

0x800a138f - JavaScript run-time error: Can not   get undefined or null reference client property

In the following part:

    // Create a function that the hub can call to broadcast messages.
    chat.client.broadcastMessage = function (name, message) {
        // Html encode display name and message. 
        var encodedName = $('<div />').text(name).html();
        var encodedMsg = $('<div />').text(message).html();
        // Add the message to the page. 
        $('#discussion').append('<li><strong>' + encodedName
            + '</strong>:&nbsp;&nbsp;' + encodedMsg + '</li>');
    };

Index:

            $('#message').focus();
            // Start the connection.
            $.connection.hub.start().done(function () {
                $('#sendmessage').click(function () {
                    // Call the Send method on the hub. 
                    chat.server.send($('#displayname').val(), $('#message').val());
                    // Clear text box and reset focus for next comment. 
                    $('#message').val('').focus();
                });
            });
        });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

ChatHub:

public class ChatHub : Hub
{
    public void Send(string name, string message)
    {
        // Call the broadcastMessage method to update clients.
        Clients.All.broadcastMessage(name, message);
    }
}

The error means that chat is coming null in this assignment:

var chat = $.connection.chatHub;

By all means, you did not do step 8 of the tutorial, which is to register in Global.asax , in event Application_Start , the following:

// Register the default hubs route: ~/signalr/hubs
RouteTable.Routes.MapHubs();
