Asynchronous communication with .net web services using non .net clients - What are the options?

I am currently investigating the possibilities of creating a .net based web service that can be consumed by both .net as well as non .net clients. I'm particularly looking for an asynchronous communication model using which a client can receive periodic responses(like publish subscribe) from the server.

Thanks in advance

When you need asynchronous push to clients then it has to be with Signal R only. This applicable for website, but need to check for webservice/webapi.

ASP.net Web API RESTful web services would be the best route for you to take. It has an asynchronous communication model and also can push to multiple clients. Since it's just a RESTful web service, it's cross platform and virtually any client can consume it.
