Can I synclock effectively on an object stored in the cache?Like:
SyncLock System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache("Some Object")
'do some stuff that is threadsafe on this cached object'
End SyncLock
Will this stop another thread from modifying that cached object?
Is it correct to implement my caching object like this in my controller :
[code]....
And I Use it like this :

We are using HttpRuntime.Cache API in an ASP.NET to cache data retrieved from a database.
For this particular application, our database queries feature a LOT of parameters, so our cache keys look something like this:
table=table1;param1=somevalue1;param2=somevalue2;param3=somevalue3;param4=somevalue4;param5=somevalue5;param6=somevalue6... etc...
we have so many parameters that the cache key is several hundred characters long. is there a limit to the length of these cache keys? Internally, it is using a dictionary, so theoretically the lookup time should be constant. However, I wonder if we have potential to run into some performance/memory problem.
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 Repliesi have some test code which i run at every load of a page in my asp.net website
this is the code
Sub TryThreads()
Dim t1 = New Thread(AddressOf TryLock)
t1.Priority = ThreadPriority.Lowest[code]...
the "dotrace" simply add a record to a log table in the db.now the right result would be that i should have the entries in the db in order "entered","exiting","exited"but actually when i look in the db i see first 2 "entered" then 2 "exiting" etc.meaning that the multithreading is working ok, but not the synclock is that correct?the real code will be adding records to the db and might be called from several pages of different sessions, but the same code must not run twice concurrently.
EDIT:in response to Sashas wonderful post i changed my code to a class (it was in a module) and now it looks like this:
Public Class CheckClass
Property LockObject As Object
Get [code]...
if i open multiple pages at once, they still clash some times. but if i'm correct, the issue is now not with the synclock as much as with the httpruntime.cache, because when using a standard property, on one page, the code works 100%. so how can i make sure that 2 threads, even from totally different sessions never run the trylock simultaneously?
I'm having an issue when using the Asp.Net Cache functionality. I add an object to the Cache then at another time I get that object from the Cache, modify one of it's properties then save the changes to the database.
But, the next time I get the object from Cache it contains the changed values. So, when I modify the object it modifies the version which is contained in cache even though I haven't updated it in the Cache specifically. Does anyone know how I can get an object from the Cache which doesn't reference the cached version?i.e.
Step 1:
Item item = new Item();
item.Title = "Test";
Cache.Insert("Test", item, null, DateTime.Now.AddHours(1), System.Web.Caching.Cache.NoSlidingExpiration);
Step 2:
Item item = (Item)Cache.Get("test");
item.Title = "Test 1";
Step 3:
Item item = (Item)Cache.Get("test");
if(item.Title == "Test 1"){
Response.Write("Object has been changed in the Cache.");
}
I realise that with the above example it would make sense that any changes to the item get reflected in cache but my situation is a bit more complicated and I definitely don't want this to happen.
Is there any way to return object from Session when Select is called on ObjectDataSource? Specifically, I have Products object and saved in Session. Now on another page I have ObjectDataSource which will call same bussiness object method to get Products object. Here I want to hook up any event like Selecting and I would like to return Products object from Session to Select method of ObjectDataSource.
View 1 Replies I've been developing an application using asp.net MVC, and I have some configurations that influences in process of render a view. For example, a user can choose (in an configuration of system) if a field should appear for a management of records in an area of the system. So, I have an class called AppConfiguration has some properties to represent this configurations.
I guess I need to cache an object of AppConfiguration, and make a ViewModel base class and inherits from my viewmodel, for example:
public class BaseViewModel {
public AppConfiguration Config { get; set; }
}
public class DocumentViewModel : BaseViewModel {
public Document Document { get; set; }
}
and make typed views using "DocumentViewModel" to check the properties if this kind of document is able to render or not ? is it works ? Or is there any other better way to do something like this ?
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 thought I would put those settings into Cache and then invalidate them if the web.Config file changes. Reading some articles make it seem that this is completely unnecessary.
View 1 Repliesi have simple form which consists of 2 labels and 2 buttons, the first label will display the current time and second label will display the cached time for 2 mins which is absolute..
no w when i click on first button only current time have to get update,, and when i click on second button both current time cached time have to be updated even though the cached time of 2 mins not elapsed also.
This source what i have used to create cache object.Also i have checked if "AppCache_Caption" cache object is available or not.

Right now i have checked and created my login page page_load event.It will create cache object every time me access the login page.What are the conditions wrong my source?My expectation, cache object creates only one time.It will not create everytime.
In an ASP.NET web app written in VB.NET, I need to load and store a large read-only hash table that is frequently accessed by the application. It only needs to be loaded once on application start, is never updated and can be accessed by any session at any time.
If I load the hash table into a private member in a (global) module, a lookup to it takes one 20th of the time compared to storing the hash table in the Application or Cache object. Is there any reason why I should not do this, or should Application or Cache always be used to store in-memory objects in an ASP.NET web application?

We 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?
What are the "optimal" parameters for creating an AppFabric cache when you will be storing session state in the cache? MSDN Cache-Related Commands
Powershell command line:
New-Cache [-CacheName] <String> [-Eviction <String>] [-Expirable <String>] [-Force [<SwitchParameter>]] [-NotificationsEnabled <String>] [-Secondaries <Int32>] [-TimeToLive <Int64>]
[code]...
Since I don't want my sessions to be removed unless the session has been abandoned either via code or Session Timeout...For eviction, I would think "None" and for expireable, I would think False.I have tested and calling Session.Abandon does remove the object from the cache. I have also tested to see if by extending my session, the session object in cache is also extended. This does seem to work the "correct" way.
We have a data driven ASP.NET website which has been written using the standard pattern for data caching (adapted here from MSDN):
public DataTable GetData()
{
string key = "DataTable";
object item = Cache[key] as DataTable;
[code]...
The trouble with this is that the call to GetDataFromSQL() is expensive and the use of the site is fairly high. So every five minutes, when the cache drops, the site becomes very 'sticky' while a lot of requests are waiting for the new data to be retrieved.
What we really want to happen is for the old data to remain current while new data is periodically reloaded in the background. (The fact that someone might therefore see data that is six minutes old isn't a big issue - the data isn't that time sensitive). This is something that I can write myself, but it would be useful to know if any alternative caching engines (I know names like Velocity, memcache) support this kind of scenario. Or am I missing some obvious trick with the standard ASP.NET data cache?
I have use Nhibernate in my MVC Project by me known, Nhibernate have cache on Session and Object. now, I want use HttpContext.Current.Cache (system.web) for cache data something in project. my code same that have problem, haven't it. and that's right or wrong.
View 2 RepliesI'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 want to be able to maintain certain objects between application restarts.
To do that, I want to write specific cached items out to disk in Global.asax Application_End() function and re-load them back on Application_Start().
I currently have a cache helper class, which uses the following method to return the cached value:
return HttpContext.Current.Cache[key];
Problem: during Application_End(), HttpContext.Current is null since there is no web request (it's an automated cleanup procedure) - therefore, I cannot access .Cache[] to retrieve any of the items to save to disk.
Question: how can I access the cache items during Application_End()?
Im building a image gallery which reads file from disk, create thumbnails on the fly and present them to the user. This works good, except the processing takes a bit time.
I then decided to cache the processed images using the ASP .NET Application Cache. When a image is processed I add the byte[] stream to the cache. As far as I know this is beeing saved into the system memory. And this is working perfect, the loading of the page is much faster.
My question is if there are thousands of images which gets cached in the Application Cache, will that affect the server performance in any way?
You 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 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'm using the OutputCache for my pages, and I have a dynamic user control (login/register) . When the user try to sign in, the the control do not change the aspect because I´m using OutputCache. How can I exclude the "login/register" control from the cache?
