Javascript signalR and ASP.Net / C#

Question

I would like to know in regards to SignalR and ASP.NET.

I’m new to ASP.NET and C# and I’ve developed an ASP.NET Core MVC app with some objects, lists and forms.

Is it so that for any type of real-time update in the browser for my lists I should use SignalR?

Also then is it so that the only way to return and display the list I also have to use JavaScript?

Answer 1

The only alternative to JavaScript is a refresh meta tag that reloads the page every n seconds.

JavaScript polling may be all that’s necessary.
