c# - SignalR chat application sending images

Question

I have build the SingnalR chat application MVC5 signalR 2.0 , from the tutorial :- http://www.asp.net/signalr/overview/signalr-20/getting-started-with-signalr-20/tutorial-getting-started-with-signalr-20-and-mvc-5 And it is all working brilliantly, though is there a way to send images/ attachments? and with the images actually displaying on the screen?

Answer 1

The way that Jabbr (the IRC-like web based chat system based on SignalR) does it is it uploads files to an Azure blob container from the client (via a server side upload handler) and then sends the direct blob URI back down to all clients, who access the file directly.

Take a look at the code here: https://github.com/JabbR/JabbR
