AzureDevOpsAR is simply the name of the app registration AzureDevOps will be associated with, don't like the name? Simply change the references below.

1. Create an App Registration to act as a Service Principal:
   1. Log in to portal.azure.com
   2. Azure Active Directory => App Registrations => New Application Registration
   3. Name: AzureDevOpsAR, Type: Web app/API, Url: http://azuredevopsar (Url isn't important as it won't be used)
   4. Copy the Application ID as this will be the Service principal client ID
2. Settings => Keys => Add

SignalR generates a hub for each method invoke ie onConnected, onDisconnect or any other methods on the hub. Autofac.SignalR all hub dependencies are resolved from the root container making them singletons.

I did find another solutions https://github.com/lethek/SignalR.Extras.Autofac but this required inheriting from a special lifetimehub, retro fitting this into an large existing solution would take a lot of work an re-testing.

The solutions below allows you to scope all dependencies per hub instance.

• Install-Package Autofac.SignalR
• Install-Package Castle.Core

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

• elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent
