Realtime application - asp.net alternative to node.js and socket.io

Question

I work with asp.net.

I want to write realtime application without ajax polling.

I need free technology - something like node.js and socket.io.

What is the alternative for asp.net - NODE.JS and SOCKET.IO?

Why not use httplistener/tcplistener? It's in the BCL and is a part of an ECMA standard. So, I guess you can say it is free? No?
