Is there a simple, down to earth, sample/example/tutorial for WebSockets Server and Client implementation in ASP.NET 4.0 to get me started? I know this question has been asked, but it hasn’t been answered properly. There is a lot of stuff about client side, but cannot find a simple explanation about server-side in ASP.NET
Thanks!
~Update:
I Found this tutorial, but cannot make it work, the connection closes right after attempting to connect. any one can make it work?

Method 1
ASP.NET won’t support WebSockets until Windows Server 8/IIS 8. See here.
There’s this tutorial, Getting started with WebSockets in the Windows 8 developer preview, from September 2011.
If you want to see a working WebSocket server in .NET I’d recommend taking a look at SuperWebSocket which is open source. If you just want to use a .NET WebSocket server then SuperWebSocket (again), XSockets and Fleck are worth a look.
SignalR also relies on Windows 8. See the SignalR WebSockets docs.
