Answer 1

I am using the method explained in this answer.

public class NewsFeedHub : Hub 
{
    private static IHubContext hubContext = GlobalHost.ConnectionManager.GetHubContext();

    // Call this from JS: hub.client.send(channel, content)
    public void Send(string groupName, string content)
    {
        Clients.Group(groupName).addMessage(content);
    }

    // Call this from C#: NewsFeedHub.Static_Send(groupName, content)
    public static void Static_Send(string groupName, string content)
    {
        hubContext.Clients.Group(groupName).addMessage(content);
    }

}

The hub defines and uses its hubContext, so you can do:

var newsFeedHub = new NewsFeedHub();
var newsFeedHub.Static_Send("ch1", "HELLO");

Or:

var taskHub = new TaskHub();
var taskHub.InsertTask(task);

If you prefer that, based on your method naming.
