No access to the Session information through SignalR Hub

Hi ,

By design , Session is not supported in Signal R . Your HTTPContext.Current.Session will return Null as a mater of fact . This is stated in the official documentation as well :

http://www.asp.net/signalr/overview/testing-and-debugging/troubleshooting

HTTPContext.Current.Session is null

This behavior is by design. SignalR does not support the ASP.NET session state, since enabling the session state would break duplex messaging.

You can see the workarounds here :
