I know the big difference, but one thing is confusing me. Cache works only on a single machine on webfarm and to make it globally we use Velocity or memcache.So is static does same, or is it already work globally ?
eg
Cache["someid"] = "value"; //this will only work on single machine cache,
static string abc = "value"; // will this work on single machine or globally ?
I am creating a static variable and adding to session.This variable has value that is user specific. Now I am getting a problem with this users are complaining that they are getting values that should be another users. It's like a mix up with session. Could this be because of static variable declaration?
View 2 RepliesWhat is difference between Application object and static variable? Where these are stroed in memory.
View 4 RepliesI need to keep a global variable throughout the whole time the user is at my site, but do I use Application or a static class? The string variable should store a region name and my site makes a few changes depending on which region that has been set.
I read that Application was mainly for classic ASP, but I also read that a static class cannot be instantiated at runtime (e.g. when the user has logged in).
So, have I got something wrong here and which solution do I use?
I have a web application which uses a session variable to store the logged in userid. If no user is logged in, of course this variable will be empty and the contents displayed on my website are meant for guests. If there is a user logged in, the user specific controls/access/links will then be a displayed.
I am now having issues with my hosting where on shared application pool, the worker recycle is triggered every 90 minutes, this will clear sessions causing all my users to be logged out. I opted for a dedicated application pool, which got worse because I am only allocated 50MB memory limit and if this is reached, the worker recycle is triggered and I lose my sessions again. I have tried as much as possible optimization techniques, e.g. dispose where possible, close connections, disable viewstate for static controls etc but my memory per instance keeps building up from page to page without any signs of improvement. I don't use loops nor store huge objects like bitmaps etc but my sessions are now gone even faster than 90 minutes in shared application pool before.
I have considered using SQL Session State but there isn't a simple guide on using this with MySQL. I am getting desperate and considering using a public variable, a string as a replacement to store logged in user id instead of in a session variable. I am pretty sure this will solve my issue with sessions being recycled but are there any negative consequences of doing this? One problem I can think of is if the user closes the browser, the system will never know that the user is now logged out and this public variable should be nothing. In this scenario, will the GC eventually clear this abandoned public variable.
I am building a web app that is limited to one database, therefore I cannot use the ASP.NET config tool. As a quick means of getting this app online, I tried to use a simple session variable. The login page verifies the user's credentials, and if they pass, it sets the session variable to a certain value. All other pages check in the page_load event whether or not the session variable is equal to that value. The problem is that once being logged in for a short while and sending and recieving some data, the session variable resets, and I'm returned to the login page to repeat the process. Here's the basic code from my webforms:

Is there some setting I need to change in the web.config file to adjust the cookie timeout or is that only for the config tool authentication methods?
I've always wondered how you can access the correct state of the current http context via a static method:
HttpContext.Current.Session["foo"] = "bar";
In any other program, anywhere else, my initial assumption about working with a static accessor like this is that changing it will change it across all threads. Similarly, another thread running my change it on me while I am trying to use it.But HttpContext.Current does not behave like this. It provides the appropriate state for the given request, even through the static accessor.
my understanding static/shared objects will be saved in a memory that is shared by all instances of the asp.net application,so if we set a value to shared object from inst1 & i should be able to access it via instance2(may be in same computer or anywhere)Actually:In my vb.net application,previously they defined shared dataset to hold some information specific to the user,still now i cant reproduce the error that same value shared across all application instances.Please help me to solve or clarify this.

Currently I have my data cached in Datasets in a static class. I was talking to my cousin's husband, who works as a C# developer for our local Telecom company.
Basically, I'm pretty new to ASP.NET and although to me having cached data in a static class makes sense to me, when I talked to him about it, he said there might be a problem when the site goes live, as on a web server more than one instance of the class may be created.
He did say this was a theory, and it was an area he didn't know an awful lot about, so I thought I'd ask some of you ASP.NET gurus to see if what I've done is totally wrong or not.
I want to add a list to the cache and I would like it to stay there as long as posible.
Is there a way adding something to the cache permanently?
how do i set the exiry date of a cached object?

View 2 RepliesI have some weird problem. We're using Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 (8 Cores and
8 GB RAM) with IIS 7.5 and ASP.NET MVC 2.
I always cache (simple) stuff via the context cache and it seems like 9 out of 10 immediate page refreshs the Cache["MyKey"] is always null, even though there's no memory limit set on the pool and the server has lots of free memory.
I add expiring data via:
[Code]....
When just doing: Cache.Insert("MyKey", myObject); or Cache["MyKey"] = myObject; I get the same result (cache is almost always null for that key).
As you can see I added a callback, which writes the CacheItemRemovedReason to a text file, and the text file says CacheItemRemovedReason.Removed for MyKey. The doc for CacheItemRemovedReason.Removed says, that I call Remove/Insert on it, even though in my whole project there's no "Remove"-calls, just simple if(Cache["MyKey"] == null) {Cache["MyKey"] = ...} stuff.
I tried adding:
<caching><cache disableMemoryCollection = "true" disableExpiration = "true" privateBytesLimit="0" percentagePhysicalMemoryUsedLimit="90" privateBytesPollTime="00:02:00" /></caching>
to my web.config file in the System.Web-section but nothing changed :(
why Cache["MyKey"] is almost always null?
I have a treeview that shown groups and their sub groups in my usercontrol. I pass the parent GroupId to the usercpntrol from the page. I want to cache nodes of treeview for every Parent Group Id. My code is works good for first time and fill the cache object . after refresh the page, cache object fill the TreeNodeCollection succesfully and everything is ok. But after another refresh, cache object is not null but is empty and TreeNodeCollection.count is zero(0). What's my fault? Please help me to solve this problem.

I am working on rewriting an application. The previous developers have declared some Private static hashtables within a class in a class library. The first time when the application runs, this hashtable gets populated by running the query. After that this hastable is refrenced elsewhere to get the employee information.Even if the employee is removed from the DB, he is still able access the application, Since the private static hashtable holds the employee information. I totally understand that the hashtable is referenced to prevent the DB calls everytime.
The problem is even after closing the browser and restarting the application the hashtable holds the employee information. How do i get clear this so that it calls the DB?
I am looking for an elegant (i guess as elegant as it can be) solution to caching a users profile on login (whether it is session, cache, cookie, etc) and keeping it in sync when a users profile is changed. How do you guys handle this? Just simply call a Flush() method in your Save() method that invalidates the cache?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to share a cache between multiple ASP.NET applications? The apps may reside on different servers. How can one achieve this requirement?
View 1 Replies 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.
Is it suitable to store some app settings in Application Cache? I mean settings that might need to be changed frequently...
View 1 RepliesI have a senario where i want to add the data into cache but only 100 records should be added.
Is their any predefined functions available.
Basically i dont want to write if else condition whiile adding the records wether its 100 records present or not.
I have a page that has a grid view.
The user selects a person from a dropdown list and then clicks a button that adds the users info as
a new row in the grid.
Adding the new row involves doing an insert and rebinding the grid which is a slow process.
How do I use the cache to see the grid update right away?
I wanted to know the best practice for caching data. Say I have some control example a dropdown list which is populated from my db. Now this dropdown is global and used across many pages. I was thinking of not going to database everytime to fetch data for this dropdown and put the result in Cache. And then populate this dropdown from cache. Is this a good practice or if there is another approach. Can I store my datareader in cache and then use it globally. Also could I do this in application start event?

View 7 RepliesI am Caching dataset in my application, the issue is when there is a large set of data the OutOfMemory exception is thrown.
I want to check for the this exception and when it happens I want to remove the cache object.
I am working with asp.net mvc and i am trying to get acces to a object that is in the cache.In the Application_Start() of Global.asax.cs i create and store an object in the cache like this:
Translator translator = new Translator();
HttpContext.Current.Cache.Insert("Translator", translator, null, System.Web.Caching.Cache.NoAbsoluteExpiration, System.Web.Caching.Cache.NoSlidingExpiration);
Translator holds a dictionary with translations.Now i want acces to this object from the cache to use functions and get values from the dictionary.I know i can acces it like this HttpContext.Current.Cache.Get("Translator") or Cache.Get("Translator") in the views But how can i use the functions of the object ? The meaning of the cache is to have a object that is accesable througout the webapp right ?
Do i have to make an object and asses the value of the Cache.Get("Translator") to it, so i can use the functions or is there another solution?
Which one is faster? For a dropdownlist binding it the first time and using ViewSate or Turning of viewstate, keeping the data in a static datatable and binding the dropdownlist each time on a postback
