.NET 4.5 WebSockets vs SignalR
问题 I've seen signalR vs html5 websockets for asp.net MVC chat application but it doesn't 100% answer my question as it's based around HTML5 WebSockets, which Microsoft may have extended upon in .NET 4.5 with their WebSocket object. I'm wondering if the WebSocket feature does actually do the same as SignalR and fall back to long polling when WebSockets aren't available? Surely Microsoft would implement the same technology as SignalR in their approach to this technology? Edit: For anyone else
