Azure SignalR Service is based on ASP.NET Core SignalR framework, and it supports both ASP.NET Core SignalR and ASP.NET SignalR applications. Both support are generally available. Please note that different frameworks require different Azure SignalR SDK, for ASP.NET Core SignalR, it is package Microsoft.Azure.SignalR to install, for ASP.NET SignalR, it is package Microsoft.Azure.SignalR.AspNet.
Package Microsoft.Azure.SignalR is the one to use when you are using ASP.NET Core SignalR. If you are not familiar with ASP.NET Core SignalR yet, we recommend you to read ASP.NET Core SignalR's documentation first.
Follow the tutorial at here to get started with Azure SignalR Service.
More samples on how to use Azure SignalR Service can be found here.
Note
There're two versions of SignalR: ASP.NET SignalR and ASP.NET Core SignalR. The ASP.NET Core version is not a simple .NET Core port of the original SignalR, but a rewrite of the original version. As a result, ASP.NET Core SignalR is not backward compatible with ASP.NET SignalR (API interfaces and behaviors are different). If it is the first time you try SignalR, we recommend you to use the ASP.NET Core SignalR, it is simpler, more reliable, and easier to use.
Note:
Please make sure ASP.NET SignalR client version is using 2.4.0 or above.
Package Microsoft.Azure.SignalR.AspNet is the one to use when you are using ASP.NET SignalR. If you are not familiar with ASP.NET SignalR yet, we recommend you to read ASP.NET SignalR's documentation first.

Note:
Management API only supports ASP.NET Core SignalR.
Package Microsoft.Azure.SignalR.Management is the one to use when you want to manage SignalR clients through Azure SignalR Service directly such as broadcast messages. This SDK can be but not limited to be used in serverless environments. You can use this SDK to manage SignalR clients connected to your Azure SignalR Service in any environment, such as in a console app, in an Azure function or in an App Server.
More details can be found here.
The sample on how to use Management SDK to redirect SignalR clients to Azure SignalR Service can be found here.
