Notification on Devforce 2012

I meant what are you trying to notify? Are you trying to send the notification to an existing application using DevForce?

Is your client using DevForce? If so, you could set it up like this:

IIS (or wherever the DevForce BOS is hosted)
  -SignalR persistent connection service exposed over http

Change notification service
  -SignalR client that pushes the change information to the IIS server  which then broadcasts it to any listening clients (the quickstart shows a simple example of this)


DevForce client
 -SignalR client that receives the change information

Push notification has gone. You can use something like SignalR though to achieve the same thing. It's very easy to use and in whatever code you have to detect changes (Save interceptor, etc) you can then push a notification to the client

SignalR is available on NuGet and there is a lot of good documentation here: https://github.com/SignalR/SignalR/wiki

For your task you might look at using Persistent Connections, you probably don't need to use the more complex Hubs.

Here is a quickstart article https://github.com/SignalR/SignalR/wiki/QuickStart-Persistent-Connections

Rather than using HTML/JS to send the notification, this can simply be done in your service that handles the change notifications.
