Cache expiration

[Steffen Loringer]

Hi,

i like to store some data in the Cache on the server. The data should be
removed once a file on the server is changed (I'm using a
Cache.Dependency). Because the data should be reloaded into the Cache
I'm also using a callback method.
But I can't figure out, how to add the data without any time dependency.
I can't use
Cache.Insert("Test", test, cacheDependency, Nothing, Nothing,
Caching.CacheItemPriority.High, onCacheRemove) because this immediately
reloads the data.

The data should be removed if the file is changed - and only in that
case! Any ideas?

Thanks for help
Steffen

I personally don't use callbacks to reload data. When I store things in the Cache,
I usually have a method to retrieve it. This method checks if the item is cached.

If it is cached, return that.
If it isn't cached (file changed, never stored yet) then create the object, cache it
and return it.

For duration and time there are constants in System.Web.Caching.Cache:
NoAbsoluteExpiration and NoSlidingExpiration.
