SignalR dispose of HubConnection

Question

In a AspNet SignalR client is it the action to dispose of a HubConnection necessary?

It seems to take some time, from what I have seen...

Answer 1

It's not necessary if you are calling Stop().

See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn235890(v=vs.118).aspx

otherwise, you should always Dispose of IDisposable objects when you are done using them.

If it is taking too long (i.e., blocking the current thread), just stop it on a Task, something like:

Task.Run(()=>hubConnection.Stop());
