Make new simple websocket server with c#

Question

I'm very new to the websocket, I'm trying to make a simple websocket server with c# from scratch, anyone have a simple sample?? that I can understand easily? Like just send string ("hello client") to the client side(HTML5 with JavaScript) I'm using google chrome, Thank you

If you're building it from scratch for fun, then please pay no attention to me when I say that Websockets are a built-in feature of ASP.net 4.5. See here paulbatum.com/2011/09/getting-started-with-websockets-in.html — jessegavin

The question was to use websocket for file transfer, apparently it's really complicated, so I try to ask for a basic one — Eldon Lesley

Here is to make it clear, I would like to create a server with a basic functionality to send message/string to the client (in browser) — Eldon Lesley

I would recommend you Fleck - very easy to start with and clean.

There is a console app project which shows you the implementation of a chat echo server. Very simple to use. You need to implement delegates for OnOpen, OnClose, OnMessage and can use Send to send data.

thanks! it worked! but I need to study the server first, since I need to modify it to send message to the client in string format (customizable)

unfortunately though, I can't make a server from scratch, and this Fleck is a hell lot of complex code, and need some time to understand, but the usage is very simple

There is a byte array and a string method - so you should be flexibale in your format - adding another send method should be really trivial.

You may also take a look at the WebSocketRPC library, which is simple enough. Some code snippets are shown on the page.
