VNext SignalR API

today.cs

Clients.addMessage(message);
Others.addMessage(message); // Does not exist yet
Clients[group].addMessage(message);
Clients[Context.ConnectionId].addMessage(message);

IClientProxy proxy = Clients;
proxy.Invoke("addMessage", message);

IClientProxy proxy1 = Clients[group];
proxy1.Invoke("addMessage", message);

v1.cs

// Dynamic
InvokeOn.All.addMessage(message);
InvokeOn.Others.addMessage(message);
InvokeOn.Caller.addMessage(message);
InvokeOn.Group(group).addMessage(message);
InvokeOn.Client(Context.ConnectionId).addMessage(message);

// Indirect
Invoke("addMessage", message).On.All();
Invoke("addMessage", message).On.Others();
Invoke("addMessage", message).On.Caller();
Invoke("addMessage", message).On.Group(group);
Invoke("addMessage", message).On.Client(Context.ConnectionId);

v2.cs

// Dynamic
Clients.All.addMessage(message);
Clients.Others.addMessage(message);
Clients.Caller.addMessage(message);
Clients.Group(group).addMessage(message);
Clients.Client(Context.ConnectionId).addMessage(message);

// Indirect
Clients.Invoke("addMessage", message).On.All();
Clients.Invoke("addMessage", message).On.Others();
Clients.Invoke("addMessage", message).On.Caller();
Clients.Invoke("addMessage", message).On.Group(group);
Clients.Invoke("addMessage", message).On.Client(Context.ConnectionId);

v3.cs

// Dynamic
Connected.All.addMessage(message);
Connected.Others.addMessage(message);
Connected.Caller.addMessage(message);
Connected.Group(group).addMessage(message);
Connected.Client(Context.ConnectionId).addMessage(message);

// Indirect
Connected.Invoke("addMessage", message).On.All();
Connected.Invoke("addMessage", message).On.Others();
Connected.Invoke("addMessage", message).On.Caller();
Connected.Invoke("addMessage", message).On.Group(group);
Connected.Invoke("addMessage", message).On.Client(Context.ConnectionId);

I like v2 dynamic

v2 is good, but lose the .On.* and just make it .OnAll(), .OnOthers(), etc.

I have been working on porting socket.io protocol to .net at https://github.com/prabirshrestha/socket-io-net

here is how my api looks. https://gist.github.com/3384062

@prabirshrestha how is that relevant.

I'm liking V2 the best. Dude, SignalR has total changed the way I build webapps. Keep up the excellent work.

I don't like the lowercase addMessage. This would break our stylecop. I don't like dynamic either, would prefer an interface to define the actions on.

Is the .On.Others(); the method that sends to everybody but the sender? SignalR/SignalR#105
