Examine items in the ASP.NET cache added using the OutputCache directive

Hi,

Does anyone know how to examine items in the ASP.NET cache that are added
using the OutputCache directive in framework 1.1

i.e.

<%@ OutputCache Duration="300" VaryByParam="None"
VaryByCustom="cmscontrol,cmsrole"%>

By examine I mean see their value, key and expiration time.

Cheers Ed.

In the end I cludged it using a bit of hacked together reflection:

<%@ Page language="c#" AutoEventWireup="false" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Collections" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Reflection" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Text" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Caching" %>
<script runat=server>
override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);
base.OnInit(e);
}

private const string row = "<tr><td>{0}</td><td>{1}</td><td>{2}</td></tr>";
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
StringBuilder outHtml = new StringBuilder(512);
outHtml.Append("<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=1>");
outHtml.Append("<tr><td>Key</td><td>Value</td><td>Type</td></tr>");

// Grap the CacheInternal cache object from Cache using reflection
Type cacheType = Cache.GetType();
FieldInfo fieldCacheInternal = cacheType.GetField("_cacheInternal",
BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
Object cacheInternal = fieldCacheInternal.GetValue(Cache);
Hashtable _entries = (Hashtable)
cacheInternal.GetType().GetField("_entries", BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly |
BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(cacheInternal);

outHtml.Append("<tr><td colspan=3>Count:" + _entries.Count + "</td>");
foreach (DictionaryEntry entry in _entries)
{
Type typeCacheEntry = entry.Value.GetType();
FieldInfo fldKey = typeCacheEntry.BaseType.GetField("_key",
BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
FieldInfo fldValue = typeCacheEntry.GetField("_value",
BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);

outHtml.Append(string.Format(row,
fldKey.GetValue(entry.Value).ToString(),
fldValue.GetValue(entry.Value).ToString(),
fldValue.GetValue(entry.Value).GetType().ToString()));
}

literalOut.Text = outHtml.ToString();
}
</script>
