I need to create a page based on websocket for transfering data between visitors and between visitors and server (online auction).
Process:
The website is hosted on a shared server somewhere ....
The website administrator opens his admin page on his client pc. This admin page starts a "server page" on the server that will handle all the traffic of data between and from customers (like the way AJAX starts a .asp page on server to get the answer).
In my opinion, the solution is using websockets and SignalR .
I've found thousand of sample codes producing .exe files. What I want is a asp or aspx file I can put on the server and that is called by the admin page ....
(I have a good knowledge of HTML, Javascript. VB or C# are not stranger though I never developed with these).
Any advice, any help welcome
Thank you

What I have tried:

I've been looking over the net with google and into the Microsoft site but only found production of .exe files. Since the site is on a shared server I can't "install" applications

Microsoft does have tutorials for web pages using SignalR; go through them and learn how they work, and then work from there to get to where you need to be.
Microsoft Docs: Get started with ASP.NET Core[^]

Why do you think you need to use WebSockets / SignalR?
I have worked on and written several auction sites that only used "conventional" technologies of HTML, JavaScript, & AJAX; utilizing either Classic ASP or ASP.NET MVC.

While I can see some advantages to doing it, if I were to do it I would re-utilize what I already know and then the very few things where it would be utilized I would consider adding it in; after I had a thorough working knowledge of it.

I dropped SignalR and used the websockets directly in VB

thank you for your answer ...
I'm sure you all already went to this kind of situation : you're stacked with a project, you've been googling for 3 weeks in search of a solution . And then you decide you've been stupid enough not asking for help and finally you publish your question on the net.
Maybe one hour after, the light turns on ! You have your answer ... It seems it just needs to ask for help to find the solution by yourself ...

Thanks
