NET Cache stores values on the memory of the client or on the server?If it stores on the memory of the client then can i store the values in Cache instead of cookies - as this will improve speed of my application
View 4 RepliesWe have a wfc layer that wraps the business classes and database access and use a client that lives on the database layer. Amongst our group we are attempting to form standards. Some want to have the client call the web method and pass the page they are requesting and the page size. Pass that to the database and then page in SQL Server use RowNum.Some want to cache the full list of objects in http cache on the service tier and page in memory. They concern here is memory use on the server.
Which would be best for a medium number of users with potentially large number of records to manage (say 30K) Is it better to cache them all in memory and work from there or page at the database as the application scales?
Is it possible to cache the response of a http handler on the server and on the client?This doesn't seem to be doing the trick:
_context.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Public);
_context.Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Now.AddDays(7));
Assume a simple aspx data entry page in which admin user can upload an image as well as some other data. They are stored in database and the next time admin visits that page to edit record, image data fetched and a preview generated and saved to disk (using GDI+) and the preview is shown in an image control.
This procedure works fine for the first time however if the image changes (a new one uploaded) the next time the page is surfed it shows previously uploaded image. I debugged the application and everything works correct. The new image data is in database and new preview is stored in Temp location however the page shows previous one. If I refresh the page it shows the new image preview. I should mention that preview is always saved to disk with one name (id of each record as the name).
I think that is because of IE and other browsers use client cache instead of loading images each time a page is surfed. I wonder if there is a way to force the client browser to refresh itself so the newly uploaded image is shown without user intervention.
I'd like to modify the value of my Sliding Expiration time span based on how much memory is available. If the site's traffic is high at any point in time, more data will be added to the cache than during quieter periods. During those quiet periods I can increase the sliding expiration time span, thus allowing data to be stored longer. But when the site is busy I need to free up memory so I'm happier with a shorter time span.
So I guess my questions are as follows: Is it possible for me to find out how much memory is being consumed by the items I've added to HttpRuntime.Cache? If so, how? Does this sound like a realistic solution to the problem I've described?
I would like to use output caching with WCF Data Services and although there's nothing specifically built in to support caching, there is an OnStartProcessingRequest method that allows me to hook in and set the cacheability of the request using normal ASP.NET mechanisms.
But I am worried about the worker process getting recycled due to excessive memory consumption if large responses are cached. Is there a way to specify an upper limit for the ASP.NET output cache so that if this limit is exceeded, items in the cache will be discarded?
I've seen the caching configuration settings but I get the impression from the documentation that this is for explicit caching via the Cache object since there is a separate outputCacheSettings which has no memory-related attributes.
Here's a code snippet from Scott Hanselman's post that shows how I'm setting the cacheability of the request.

I have a webpage which displays some data along with a banner. The banner image is stored in the database with parameters "Pagename" and "form".
The application has been coded in such a way that when the page loads , a function checks for the banner in cache memory first with the parameters "pagename" and "form". It the banner does not exist, the new banner is retrieved from the database and is added to the cache memory. Next time when the same page is called, the banner is displayed from the cache memory avoiding the DB to be hit everything to get the banner.
Now, I do not want a specific banner to be displayed on the page. I have removed that banner from the DB but the banner still gets displayed as this banner is still there in the cache memory.
Is there any way to delete the banner which exists in cache memory without making any code changes?
I have a server control that I developed which generates navigation based on a third party CMS API. Currently I am caching this control using the PartialCaching attribute. The CMS uses cache key dependencies to invalidate the cache when a user makes an edit, however in the case of my server control it does not get invalidated and the updated navigation will not show up until the cache expiration set by the PartialCaching attribute.Here is my two part question:
What is the proper way to programmatically cache a server control, without using the PartialCaching attribute, and adding a cache key dependency?
Is it possible to continue to use the PartialCaching attribute and add a cache key dependency?
I need a basic system that uploads a file to the server and stores the details in a database, with the ability to add/ edit/ delete whats there.
Most of the solutions I've seen have been far to indepth. I'd like something very simple so I can pick it apart and modify it.
I have a memory leak somewhere that I cant find. Every few days my server will crash, and just before that I log a ton of SQL errors stating that it is "out of memory".
I cant find it anywhere, all of my connections are being disposed like so:
[Code]....
Then I call the connection from my pages like so:[Code]....
That is all pretty straight forward. The connection is disposed because it is implementing the USING clause. I am opening the connection in my connection manager class, and not where it is being utilized?Or, could the problem be in the below method I am using to populate a SqlDataReader:[Code]....
Now, at first it appears as though this could be the problem because the Connection isn't part of a USING clause, however doesn't the 'Data.CommandBehavior.CloseConnection' pretty much do the same thing. This makes sure that the connection is closed when the reader is closed, right? Here is how I call that above reader from my login page code behind:[Code]....
So the DataReader will get closed even without the .Close() because it is in the USING, and the connection should get closed because I specified it in the ExecuteReader paramters right?
In of my application I am using the database to store and retrive images. The table stores the documents and the datatype of the field is IMage.
Now with Sql Server 2008, i would like to upgrade this to use this new feature. WHat changes do I have to make in terms of code and also in the database.
I'm trying to access global shared memory from an ASP.NET web method while impersonating a client, but I get access denied when trying to open the handle. As an example:
[WebMethod]

I've got a web application that runs of a state server. It looks like soon it may need to distributed and there will be two web servers behind a load balancer.
This works great for session state but my next challenge is Cache
My application leverages heavily of cache. I understand ASP.Net 4.0 will be offering more here but nothing much has been said about the how too.
There are two challenges that I face
1). Each webserver will have its own copy of cache whereas it would be more efficient to put this to a third server the same as session state is put to state server.
2). The real challenge is keeping cache in sync if a simple dataset derived from the database is changed my code dumps that cache item and reloads the cache. That's all well on one webserver but webserver number two wont know to drop that particular cache item and reload it. This could cause some unexpected problems in the application.
For scenario number 2 I could attempt to do some smart coding so server number two knows to dump the cache and reload it.
My guess is someone else has already been here before and there's probably a better implementation approach rather than writing extra code.
Does anyone know how I could achieve the goal of keeping Cache in sync between multiple webservers or even better farm Cache management to another server?
I have an intranet ASP.NET web application in which I need to get the IP of the client's machine. I do this vis the following code:
HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables.Item("REMOTE_HOST")
It used to work when my ASP.NET site was only hosted on a single server. However once we got the load balancer installed and migrated our apps to a web farm, the code above returns the IP of the Load Balancer device and not of the client anymore.
I am working with the networking folks to determine what can be configured differently with the load balancer, but in the meantime I was wondering if there was another way I could get the client's IP other than using that IIS Server Variable?
I have a user control which has some properties configured on it. I need to access (actually, only read) the values of those properties on the client. I have done it like this.
Code behind:
[Code]....
ASPX:
[Code]....
That works but, at the back of my mind, I'm sure I've seen a neater way of doing it, although I suspect that may have been on an Extender not a User Control. Pointers on that welcome.
Also, related to that, the User Control itself has an Id which becomes part of the name of all visual objects included within it. However, the User Control is not a DOM element in its own right (because it has no visible rendering) which [I think] means that I have to attach properties to one of the visible elements within it, and not to the control itself?
i Have multiple File upload. press Uploaded button it will store on sever temp folder. those details are in List on our program.
when i have press the submit then only those listed files fetch form server-temp-Folder and replace in server-secified- folder.
i want to make those list class save into client location for not affted by some of other updates.
how cn i store the custome list in client memory
My web client requires client-side output caching since it makes use of its own Back and Forward buttons (which basically just call the browser back/forward buttons).
The issue I'm having, however, is (of course) when the user signs out of the app. The client-side output cache remains so anyone can click the "back" button and it appears to be signed in again. I've researched a few solutions, but most involve server-side output caching or no output caching at all.
I've had success with server caching and HttpResponse.RemoveOutputCacheItem, but unfortunately I need the client side caching.
Is it at all possible to clear this client side output cache upon logging out?
I've been playing with this for a few days. How do I get an aspx page to cache on the client so that the server returns a 304 response code? I've tried this:
[Code]....
But it doesn't seem to work. Or maybe, how do I -- from inside my code -- return the 302 directly to the browser?
Usual javascript files can be cached on a client-side if web server sets the expiration. If user has once downloaded it, it will be cached by his browser.And what about AjaxControlToolkit ToolkitScriptManager? Are combined JS files cached on a client? How can expiration time be managed?
View 1 RepliesI have a server/client architecture where the client hits the ASP.NET server's service at a certain host name, IP address, and port. Without thinking, I logged on to the server and set up permanent HTTP301 redirection through IIS from that service to another URL that the machine handles via IIS (same IP and port), mistakenly thinking it was another site that is hosted there. When the client hit the server at the old host name, it cached the permanent redirect. Now, even though I have removed the redirection, the client no longer uses the old address. How can I clear the client's cache so that it no longer stores the redirect?
I have read about how permanent HTTP301 can be, but in this case, it should be possible to reset a single client's knowledge of the incorrectly-learned host name.
How do you cache an aspx page call on the client?
The aspx page returns an asset and looks like this:
[URL]
We have tried with Output Cache, with caching in the code behind, but the only result we get is server side caching (by IIS7).
In the header of the response cache-control is set to public and expiration time is set (to 14800 as set in output cache profile).
I have a masterpage that calls all kind of external files from the server on startup, mainly css and jquery files. So, problem is, every time I open the page, there are a lot of roundtrips to the server to request these files.After the initial loading has been done, everything is ok.
Will it be possible to cache these small files to the client side, with a predetermined expiration date, so when i next open the page, I will keep the roundtrips to the servers at a minimum?
I've got two textboxes running server side and have their visibility turned off. I'm using a couple of ASP.NET controls which require the textboxes to exist. However, I am filling them from the code behind and would not like the user to see this. Can the user turn the visibility on and see the values entered in the text box? I tried using FireBug, and I couldn't seem to select the visibility option in order to edit it. However, I'm quite new to Firebug, so there may be another way? Or does running it server side mean that the client can't ever view the contents of the textbox?
View 1 RepliesYour example doesn't work, or I have missed something, I work on a website for information...
I have null in my variable ...

Dim values As String = Request.Form(ListBox1.ID)
TextBox1.Text = values
End Sub
My requirement is to get the file size in client side. there is no problem in FF but in IE you can't do that unless u r using an activeX object. So we thought of putting it in browser cache and reading the file size from there and when we post it to the server we will be taking it from the cache and send it to the server.
