Thanks for sharing but I was wondering will this method of sending/receiving work if I'm to enable ping/pong using the keep-alive option like so: new ClientWebSocket { Options = { KeepAliveInterval = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1), } }

Thank you for sharing this! I needed to implement a WebSocket client in my Windows Form Application to get real-time sensor data (Arduino). I have used a serial port for the data transfer up until today and had to make it wireless with the wifi functionality. So this works perfectly without making a lot of changes in my application. I wonder if there is a way to use SingnalR in Windows Form Application for the same purpose just as a WebSocket client. Is this an unlucky case where I can't use SignalR? Could you let me know your thought on this? If it's possible and you could quickly guide me on how to do it (if it's simple), it would be really great! Thanks a lot!

In general I find setting up a SignalR application easier then just plain websockets. So I wouldn't see why you would not be able to this. Although I have no experience in setting it up for a Windows Form Application. So there might be some issues. I have an older post where I use SignalR (int .NET Framework), maybe it can help you out: https://thecodegarden.net/net-chat-application-azure-service-bus-topics-signalr

This seemingly works great until you want to parallelize sending/receiving messages on multiple threads very fast, then it gets ugly.. Ended up using Websocket.Client nuget package from 'Marfusios' which makes it a bit simpler

Hi Jeffrey, I just tried to play around with your code and keep getting an error in the Send task Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data) does not work: Error CS1503 Argument 1: cannot convert from 'byte[]' to 'System.ArraySegment<byte>' I am just trying to learn c# by doing things I've done in other languages before. I'm only experienced in scripting (python, perl), so I know all the networking stuff, but I'm a little lost with those conversions... I googled but cannot find the solution...

Hi Götz, that's unfortunate... and strange. Can you tell me which SDK you're using?

I'm having the same issue and would be grateful of some help. My project is a class library targeting .NET framework 4.6.1. The package I have added is System.Net.WebSockets

Please disregard above. I read through the comments and realised this example is for .NET Core. If I create a .NET Core Console App I don't get this error.

Hi Jeffrey, I am working on a project to create a "bot" for buying/selling. I want to build my project initially in win32 and perhaps migrate to ASP.NET, I have different provider API's to support across different trading platforms. I assume that the WebSocketService can be changed to work on a Win32 background worker class or similar. Is there any chance you could rework the Background Service to accomodate a Win32 environment as an enhancement to your post? I am sure others will be searching the same things as me ... I am happy to sort out a paypal "beer" ! i'll keep an eye out here for your reply ... thanks, jON

Can anyone explain what server is used in this example? I see two clients, one is a .NET Core console app (thank you!!!!) and the other seems to be another client, but running in ASP.NET Core?

Jeffrey Rosselle 9/24/2020 12:07:52 PM

Correct, the client is written in for ASP.NET Core.
