I asked a question a while back on here regarding caching data for a calendar/scheduling web app, and got some good responses. However, I have now decided to change my approach and stat caching the data in javascript. I am directly caching the HTML for each day's column in the calendar grid inside the $('body').data() object, which gives very fast page load times (almost unnoticable). However, problems start to arise when the user requests data that is not yet in the cache. This data is created by the server using an ajax call, so it's asynchronous, and takes about 0.2s per week's data.
My current approach is simply to block for 0.5s when the user requests information from the server, and cache 4 weeks either side in the inital page load (and 1 extra week per page change request), however I doubt this is the optimal method. how to improve the situation? To summarise:
Each week takes 0.2s to retrieve from the server asynchronously. Performance must be as close to real-time as possible. (however the data is not needed to be fully real-time: most appointments are added by the user and so we can re-cache after this) Currently 4 weeks are cached on either side of the inial week loaded: this is not enough. to cache 1 year takes ~ 21s, this is too slow for an initial load.
The problem is when I send AJAX (XmlHttpRequest) request from other page to this page, that response does not get cached on any browser but IE. (On IE, it gets cached even if I don't specify). How do I make it cache?
i have implemented an image preloader using javascript inside my mvc 2 web app, in order to display an animated "loading" image .gif while sequentially displaying page images.I have also implemented caching using a cache profile for the controller action that displays the specific page ([OutputCache(CacheProfile = "LongCache")]).The problem is that the image preloader javascript is called when caching is applied. I was wondering whether i could, somehow, use the image preloader code only when the page gets refreshed and not when the cached version is rendered.
I have a page with a number of user controls, In one of my user controls I have a button event. I turn on output cache for the user control that has the button and vary by control using the ID property of a hidden field control in the user control. whenever I turn on the output cache my button event doesn't fire.
I want to use caching technique for .js,.css and images( to avoid round trips and to improve performance of page load) .So, on IIS 7 using Http Response Header, i set Content Expriation to 7 days.Now, on browser its caching which is avoiding round trips for static content ...which is good sign.Now, i modified one of the .js file and i deployed that .js file on server and due to caching my new code is not reflecting on client machines .So i tried lot of ways and here is what i tried after deployment of new .js file After deployment of new .js file
1) I manually delete all the browser cache(cookies,urls,forms,page content etc) on internet explorer
2) used ctrl + f5 to get refresh
3) again on IIS i went back Http Response Header section and set Content Expriation to never
My target browser is IE.None of them worked,Finally i renamed my .js file to different file name and changed code to make use of that new .js file ..but no luck on this too .Because what i set intially for 7 days still my client machine remembers that.
How do i tell IIS server to refresh cached content code , when some thing got changde on .js or .cssfiles?
I am just trying to understand the basics flow to the MVC framework by putting in some breakpoints in the beginning of the actions of a couple of controllers.
One break point is at the HomeController/Index action where it just returns View() of the "Welcome to MVC". The Second break point is at a SecondController/Index action where it uses the Entity Framework and returns a View() of a list from the db.
When I run this in debug, it breaks at the points I expected when I go from Home page to the Second page controller and back to Home. However, when I go to the Second page again, it doesn't break at all? Is the results of the Second page being cached and how and where? How do you trigger for it to get check if data is old?
I check to see if the persistence is done on the db, by changing the value of a field on the db side and it still did not cause it to break on that action and displays old information in the view. I am concerned because it is displaying incorrect values on the UI. I do not have the OutputCache attribute above this action or specified any cache on my web.config.
I have a .NET website which queries the DB using Entity Framework every 3 seconds for the status of the transaction using AJAX and updates the page. This status is set by an external client using a RESTful webservice hosted on another server. I want to avoid hitting the DB every 3 seconds for each transaction so want this information cached in memory. The REST webservice updates the cache and website reads from it. Is there any FOSS or commercial Out of Process Shared Cache library that I can use to speed up the performance?
I have a table that stores songs and plays counter. Here's the code:
//Increse plays counter string ip = Request.UserHostAddress; if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ip)) { if (Cache["plays:" + trackID + ":" + ip] == null) { tracks.IncreasePlaysCounter(trackID); Cache["plays:" + trackID + ":" + ip] = true; } }
I wonder what would be a better practice, store many cache items(like this) or store one item like a ArrayList that would contain the users who already heard that song. Is there any difference?
We store the location information in a table. Numbers of records are over four thousand. This table structure is self-recursive. In our web project, we use dropdownlist control to populate all these locations. We got performance slow problem. So googling about Caching, we consider to use Data Caching with Sql Dependency. However, not found yet a full-covered sample in .NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 or 2008.
My web application is using the asp.net cache object to store data from the database. I am looking for an elegant to invalidate cache objects but haven't come up with anything elegant yet. It is easy to invalidate a single record or a list of all records in a single table, by keeping track of their cache keys. However I may have any number of lists of subsets of a table's data. I would like to invalidate only the cache records of the lists that contain a particular record, when that record changes. I don't want to have to invalidate all the lists of data for that table if only one of the lists contain that record.
I have an application written in asp.net c# and hosted on IIS6. There are an 'Image' folder with 3-subfolders. These folders contained images of type 'jpg','gif','png' etc. Images are very huge in size and in numbers. On the application every page has some images needs to open/show, due to the size of images my application get slower and slower.
I know there are some techniques to Cache image folders at client machine or some other methods. I have no access on IIS. So, I need some httphandler or httpmodules which provide something like Image-caching.
I tried this : codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/CachingImagesInASPNET.aspx The problem is I have to add an extra extension '.ashx' to every image link. There is no problem with images are loading dynamically but it has trouble with images need to embose a manual link. Also, this is working fine upto around 1000s images.
I am using visual studio 2005 on windows xp sp3. The website is stored on file system. I used subversion to checkout the code from the server.
Here is the issue:
When I run the application for the first time everything is fine. But when I makes changes in the application then I should just be able to see those changes by reloading the page in browser. But it's not happening. I have to stop the development server and re-run the application which will start a new instance of development server and now I can see the changes. This takes like 3-4 minutes and it's a lot of waste of time which I can't afford.
For my fellow developer who is here for a long time everything is just working fine. He can just modify the page and reload the page in browser to see the changes.
Reading some forums on web, I tried to clear the cache of my browser (IE, Firefox) and it's not working. So, it's not a browser's cache issue. It's related to cache in development server.
Maybe this is dreaming, but is it possible to create an attribute that caches the output of a function (say, in HttpRuntime.Cache) and returns the value from the cache instead of actually executing the function when the parameters to the function are the same?
When I say function, I'm talking about any function, whether it fetches data from a DB, whether it adds two integers, or whether it spits out the content of a file. Any function.
I have a page with outputcache right above the action in a controller class. What I want is to disable this outputcache for myself. Can it be done by IP?
I'm trying to implement functionality to cache certain pages depending on the host. This is because I can have multiple versions of a page which have the same parameters, and where the only difference in terms of a request is the host that is being requested. So, for example these two URLs will request the same page, but they are styled differently:[URL]and [URL]
I'm going through the example outlined here:[URL]but it's not making sense to me.
and the example states "To set the custom string programmatically, call the SetVaryByCustom method and pass it the custom string to use", with code similar to the following:
Response.Cache.SetVaryByCustom("host");
The problem is I'm not sure what to do with this. I've added the previous line to MvcApplication_EndRequest because it seems like it makes sense, but I don't think this is right because when I set breakpoints in GetVaryByCustomString they never get hit.
My scenario is : WebApp -> WCF Service -> EDMX -> Oracle DB
When I want to bind grid I fetch records from Oracle DB using EDMX i.e LINQ Query. But, this degrades performance as multiple layers take place between WebApp & Oracle DB. Can I use caching mechanism to improve the performance? But as far as I know cache is shared across the whole application. So, if I update cache other user might receive wrong information. Can we use caching per user? Or is there any other way to improve performance of the application?
I currently have a control that called MyGridview that inherits Gridview. It has a paging template within it for customized paging options, and I'm at the point where I want to cache the initial datasource for better performance. I haven't done this in a long time, so perhaps there is a different solution these days with the newer frameworks. Before, I simply used a Cache object that was named whatever the gridview was named. I couldn't use the same gridview name through the application though. Is there a best way to have a cache object, or some other object like a session within the control to store those unique datasets for paging and sorting?
We have a small web farm(2 servers) balanced by the built in network load balancer in Windows 2003. We have a few pages that use page caching. My question is: Is it possible that that a given user could cause a page to be cached and another user see that content? Here is the page directive for the page in question:
The reason the duration is set to "1" is to ensure that the page isn't cached any longer than 1 second because of transactions that actions on the page can trigger.
