Data Grid - SignalR Service

This example demonstrates real-time data update in a DataGrid bound to a SignalR service. Access to the service is configured in a CustomStore.

The CustomStore fetches the remote dataset at launch and keeps its local copy. Whenever the remote dataset changes, the server calls a client-side function that updates the local copy of the dataset (updateStockPrices in this demo). This function uses the store's push(changes) method.

For server-side configuration, refer to the ASP.NET MVC version of this demo.
