Passing strongly typed Hubs in SignalR

Question

I\'ve just updated some SignalR references and things have changed somewhat in order to allow for generically typed Hubs Hub. In the existing examples and

Answer 1

There is now a new overload of GetHubContext that takes two generic parameters. The first is the Hub type like before, but the second generic parameter is TClient (which is the T in Hub).

Assuming that StockTickerHub is defined as follows:

public class TypedDemoHub : Hub

Then

GlobalHost.ConnectionManager.GetHubContext().Clients

becomes

GlobalHost.ConnectionManager.GetHubContext().Clients

The type returned by the new overload to GetHubContext would be IHubContext and the Clients property would be IHubConnectionContext instead of IHubConnectionContext or IHubConnectionContext.
