Suppose i have an controller action that i would like to output cache.
public class HomeController : Controller
{
[OutputCache(Duration=10, VaryByParam="none")]
public ActionResult Index()[code]....
I need to dynamically set dependency to an external file inside the code. How can i do that?
How to use cache dependencies in MVC?So far, I follow the caching tutorial (http://weblogs.asp.net/rashid/archive/2008/03/28/asp-net-mvc-action-filter-caching-and-compression.aspx) but what if changes occured in the database and the page is still cached. [:(]
How to clear cached pages when new data is inserted?
I need to enable caching in my asp.net application, but I do not want to use the webserver's memory for holding cache objects. If I add the page directive for output caching will the page be stored in the asp.net cache object?
View 2 RepliesYou know I have the way to Cache the data I've got from the SQL Server over data caching. In addition I can output cache web user controls.Whats about a web user control contains data from a SQL database? Does it make sense to cache the data and also cache the control?What is the best solution for the combination of these two components?
View 1 RepliesI have an ASP.NET application which requires output caching. I need to invalidate the cached items when the data returned from a web service changes, so a simple duration is not good enough.
I have been doing a bit of reading about cache dependencies and think I have the right idea. It looks like I will need to create a cache dependency to my web service.To associate the page output with this dependency I think I should use the following method:
Response.AddCacheItemDependency(cacheKey);
The thing I am struggling with is what I should add to the cache?
The dependency my page has is to a single value returned by the web service. My current thinking is that I should create a Custom Cache Dependency via subclassing CacheDependency, and store the current value in the cache. I can then use Response.AddCacheItemDependency to form the dependency.
I can then periodically check the value and for a NotifyDependencyChange in order to invalidate my cached HTTP response.The problem is, I need to ensure that the cache is flushed immediately, so a periodic check is not good enough. How can I ensure that my dependant object in the cache which represents the value returned by the web service is re-evaluated before the HTTP response is fetched from the cache?
I am willing to follow the rules of the W3C where it is recommended that javascript and CSS files should be in individual files and not within the page.
Good, following this rule, and not wanting to overload the master page, I would like to embed the dependencies dynamically. So how could I insert the libraries dynamically? I think the bigger problem is the Ajax requests.
Example:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://sstatic.net/so/js/master.js?v=6523"></script>
I tried using the JavascriptResult, but he writes the content on the page, and do not run as "Stream."
I'm running an ASP.NET MVC website where several page controllers are decorated with an output cache attribute like:
[OutputCache(Duration = someduration..., VaryByParam = "*")]
These are typically forms where some lookup data are drawn from a database. These data change rarely, so the cache duration is typically set to 24 hours. Anyway, my question is: when the sql server is updated with new data in this area, is there a way of forcing such pages to "refresh" rather than keeping the cached output? Or if this cannot be done, is there at least a way of clearing the whole cache for the website?
I've got a website that has a number of host headers. Depending on the host header, the results are different - both visually (theme'd) and data.
So lets imagine i have a website called 'Foo' - that returns search results (original, eh?).
Now, the same code runs both sites. It is physically the same server/website (using Host Headers) :-
[URL]
And the data is different for the same search result, based on the host name (ie. us results for [URL] results for [URL]
SO .. if i wish to use OutputCaching .. can this be handled / differ by the host name?
I have different urls that points to the same code
www.url1.com
www.url2.com
I need to use the cache, but if the asp net cache is enabled when someone access to www.url1.com next person accessing www.url2.com could get the previously cached data (www.url1.com)
I need to have ALL caches activated except this one.
I implemented : <%@ OutputCache Duration="43200" VaryByParam="none" location="Server" VaryByCustom="RawURL" %>
I have got a sitemap.xml with all url(about 12000) possible in my site.
I would now if it's judicious to create an application that will parse my sitemap in
order to request all url?
The Goal is caching all my web site to increase velocity.
I precise my question :Each page take about 10 sec to be created and the cache duration and cache duration is 12 hours
IIS7, WINDOWS WEB SERVER 2008, ASP.NET 4.0 Does the output cache work when using webgarden?
View 1 RepliesMy 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?
On our website we use standard asp cache with duration set to 5h.
It works fine, but sometimes the publisher add some special content that need to be showed impatiently on many different sub-pages (example some promoted article).
That's what I need to do it's easy to use page like this:
[URL]
I want to clear SERVER SIDE CACHE.
I'm trying to cache a complex page with lots of controls on it so that if the user navigates to it later it will look like it did when he last saw it.The page has controls which post back and other controls are populated depending on the selections.
I'm using [Code]....
after the <@ Page directive.
What happens is that a postback gets the cached page, so no processing and it looks the same regardless of user selections. So far so good. But if I browse to another page and return by a link, the cached version is ignored and the default page is created again. This is more or less the opposite to what i want.
I attempted to use the validation callback to ensure that a postback resulted in a new version, and that worked, but it still ignored the cached page if it wasn't a postback.I realise that it will need more work to ensure each user gets their version of the page from the cache, but why bother if this doesn't work.
UserControl: How to set Output Cache duration programaticaly?
View 2 RepliesI want to use an Enum value for the types of VaryByCustom parameters I will support, is it possible to do this?
I tried setting it in the page itself
<%@ OutputCache Duration="600" VaryByParam="none"
VaryByCustom='<%=VaryByCustomType.IsAuthenticated.ToString(); %>' %>
But this returned the entire literal string "<%=VaryByCustomType.IsAuthenticated.ToString(); %>" inside my global.asax is there any way to do this either on the page itself or from the codebehind? Or is this just something I have to accept is purely magic strings and nothing I can do to add type safety to it?
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.
[code]....
It's great to be able to output cache child actions, but how do I invalidate that cache?
I've been trying to use [Code]....
I wrote a Simple Control, that implements ScriptControl. This is holder for JQuery framework:
/// <summary>
/// Generic control with client behavior handled via jQuery
/// </summary>
[code]...
I create a menu control in a user contol, named as RightUserrControl.ascx.
and i kept this RightUserrControl.ascx in nearly in 200 pages.
every thing is working fine , but when ever i am going to any page the page loading is very slow, nearly each page is taking 1 minute to load.
set caching for the user control, if this is the case , do i need to declare output cache in all 200 pages or is there any alternative way to resolve this issue.
I have set the output cache for 5 pages(5 minutes)
I want to clear all these pages from cache on some nutton click
i have 2 questions about output cache:1.is it just me , or does it seems that it is used only after the second time that the user reaches the webpage? if so, why, and how can i tweak it to my needs? my guess is that it wouldn't be logical to cache every time a user reach a webpage, but only when it happens enough times.2.i know that i can use "varybyparam" for using the output cache when the parameter doesn't change , but it seems that it would use the output cache even if there is no parameter , or if the specified paramter is not there. is there a way to overcome this?3.an old question that somehow marked as "answered" , yet i didn't solve : suppose i created a user control and i gave it values through the CTOR via the aspx file . is it possible to show the values from within the split/design mode? remember that i've talking about ASP.NET and not simply C# winforms . i write this because this question was on :[URL]and the answer that i got was for C# and winforms . i've tried to do the same for ASP.NET , but i've failed.
View 6 RepliesEDIT: Purpose of this Website: Its called Utopiapimp.com. It is a third party utility for a game called utopia-game.com. The site currently has over 12k users to it an I run the site. The game is fully text based and will always remain that. Users copy and paste full pages of text from the game and paste the copied information into my site. I run a series of regular expressions against the pasted data and break it down. I then insert anywhere from 5 values to over 30 values into the DB based on that one paste. I then take those values and run queries against them to display the information back in a VERY simple and easy to understand way. The game is team based and each team has 25 users to it. So each team is a group and each row is ONE users information. The users can update all 25 rows or just one row at a time. I require storing things into cache because the site is very slow doing over 1,000 queries almost every minute.
So here is the deal. Imagine I have an excel EDIT(Excel is just an example of how to imagine it, I don't actually use excel) spreadsheet with 100 columns and 5000 rows. Each row has two unique identifiers. One for the row it self and one to group together 25 rows a piece. There are about 10 columns in the row that will almost never change and the other 90 columns will always be changing. We can say some will even change in a matter of seconds depending on how fast the row is updated. Rows can also be added and deleted from the group, but not from the database. The rows are taken from about 4 queries from the database to show the most recent and updated data from the database. So every time something in the database is updated, I would also like the row to be updated. If a row or a group has not been updated in 12 or so hours, it will be taken out of Cache. Once the user calls the group again via the DB queries. They will be placed into Cache.
The above is what I would like. That is the wish.In Reality, I still have all the rows, but the way I store them in Cache is currently broken. I store each row in a class and the class is stored in the Server Cache via a HUGE list. When I go to update/Delete/Insert items in the list or rows, most the time it works, but sometimes it throws errors because the cache has changed. I want to be able to lock down the cache like the database throws a lock on a row more or less. I have DateTime stamps to remove things after 12 hours, but this almost always breaks because other users are updating the same 25 rows in the group or just the cache has changed.This is an example of how I add items to Cache, this one shows I only pull the 10 or so columns that very rarely change. This example all removes rows not updated after 12 hours:
DateTime dt = DateTime.UtcNow;
if (HttpContext.Current.Cache["GetRows"] != null)
{
[code]...
First off, suggest better ways if you want rather than patch up this code. I am just starting this project and it is first time I have tried to code a web site so anything you suggest is very much welcomed. I have spent the last 2 and 1/2 days trying to find workable answers to this but none I have found and tried seem to fit. If needed I can email screens shots or code. I am trying to construct a website that will have the same main theme throughout as far as the header, navbars sitemap, and footer go. Naturally the content will vary from page to page. I want to use a single master page and css stylesheet for this main theme and I will change the content format as needed per page because each page may vary somewhat.
However, about 15 of the pages will all use the same format for their content and this format will differ from the rest of the site but the format of the main theme will stay the same. So I am trying to create a nested master page to use to format the just the content area for all these pages while retaining the main theme for the header, etc.. I believe I should use a separate css file with the nested master page to handle the formatting of the content areas for these 15 pages. I have code that looks like it works when viewed in web developer but design view but does not work when viewd through a browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox). So far I have the following done in web developer.
If it helps the code and screen shots follow. Master Page called "Parent.master". For all theme throughout site Nested Master Page called "Lab.master". For the 15 like pages Primary stylesheet file for main theme called "StylesheetNew.css" For site theme Secondary stylesheet file to syle the 15 like formatted pages. It is called Labmaster.css Labs.apsx file to use as first of the 15 like pages.
Finally screens shots from web developer and browser. Sorry try as I might I could not capture screenshots and put them into this post. The problem is that web developer shows all the area (many lines high) with gray background and with the XXX text that I want to allocate for content in the 15 pages. Yet all the browser show is one line of text o a white background followed by the footer. It looks like the LabStyleSheet works in Web Developer but not in a browser.

Is it correct to implement my caching object like this in my controller :
[code]....
And I Use it like this :
