I am developing a web application where users can draw their own images in a web page using canvas. After it’s drawn, this image should be shown in other users’ browsers’ canvas. Same thing with updates.
I am only using javascript. How can i solve this problem using System.net and Asp.net?
You should look at using long-running AJAX calls to “push” the updates from the server to the clients. This is commonly referred to as the Comet web application model.

If HTML5 is an option, web sockets could be used to support updates more efficiently than long running AJAX calls.

Regardless of the method, finding a good web server that can handle long running requests will be important, if scalability is a concern. Look for a web server that has a small allocation per connection and that doesn’t assign an OS thread per connection like node.js
