Answer 1

What I do is use .Net events , to wrap the SignlR client functions and connect to the desktop application call backs . like so :

public class Client
{
    public delegate void OnReciveMessage(Object message);
    public event OnReciveMessage MessageRecivedEvent;

    public void ReciveMessage(Object message)
    {
         if (MessageRecivedEvent != null)
         {
              MessageRecivedEvent(message);
         }
    }
}
