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 Repliesi 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 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 need to implement the following feature for a shopping cart using profile:
1. User opens the site from Computer A and selects items which are added to the shopping cart. Now suppose the User logs in the same items should be displayed in the shopping cart as before he logged in. Now say he adds some more items to the shopping cart and logs out, then the items he added newly should also be displayed in the shopping cart.
2. If the same User as in Step1 opens the site from Computer B and logs in there should be a different profile entry for him and he is not to be shown the items that were selected in the shopping cart in Step1.
I feel I need an implementation of the profile on per user+ computer basis for logged in Users. We have this kind of requirement for a B2B site where companies will have only one common login and it will be used by many Users to order items.
Is 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.
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 ?
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?
I've done a bit of searching on this subject and haven't found anything so far. I am successfully using the Profile object and am saving Profile records away into my SQL Server Database. I have checked using the stored procedures and viewed the individual records to know they are there. However, I want to create a WebForm that can enumerate through all of the users in my Membership DB (Same DB as the Profile DB) and list each user in a grid showing what values each user has within their profile. For example:
Username
Profile Element 1
Profile Element 2
Profile Element 3
bob
true
false
true
fred
true
false
true
I want however to replace the 'Profile Element 1' etc etc to display the actual name of the Profile. I would like to do this programmatically so I don't have to recompile the website everytime I add a new Profile element.
I have added a list to the cache with an expiry date, however the expiry date doesnt work, im not sure how long the cached item lasts but its no more than a day.

I have an asp.net solution in which there are two web application projects (client website and admin website) and also a class liabrary project in the same solution . In the live production server, the admin web app is within the client app (eg: client site= [URL] and admin site=[URL]). A class (with static variables) in class liabrary is userd to cache data. My problem is that i cannot get the changes to the static cache by one web project reflected to the other (becoz, i think, they seem to load in seperate appdomains).
View 3 RepliesI am using this to store my user information for authentication. I'd like to know where this is actually being stored? I know that people suggest to store the Session state in SQL. Is this necessary for the Cache as well?
View 4 RepliesI am writing a web page that returns a small volume of data from a database table. The database is polled every 1 second and the data will be the same for every user. As every user is accessing the same data, there is no need for each user to poll the database and use up db resource.
Therefore, I think I should be using application caching to store the data in a dataset. However, I am slightly stumped as to how to do this.... because how can i ensure that the dataset is kept up to date.
The only way I can think to do this is to have a master user/session (i.e. the first session in the application) that keeps the cache object updated every second, then other users can use that cache object. If the first session ends, then the next requestor of the cache will pick up responsibility for keeping the dataset up to date.
