title: SignalR example using Persistent Connection client?
body: <p>I am investigating SignalR, and I don't want to write a chat client.  I instead want to create a host with a Persistent connection and have a C# .NET client (not a web page) communicate with it.  Are there any good examples of writing a Persistent Connection client?  </p>
  
  <p>Or- is Hub really the only way to go?</p>
