Understanding page cache when storing an object in it.

[Oleg]

Using ASP.NET 2.0
I always thought that cache has a global scope in the web application.
Is it possible to save an object to the page cache so it's not in the
application scope?

And if I set page cache to expire, would the object expire also?

Thanks,
Oleg

No. The Cache is application wide. What you can do however, is simply give
each "page's" cached item(s) a key name that is unique to that page.

Can I make it expire automatically? Especially if I write the object in cache
programmatically?

Expire what? Cache entry? What the point of using Cache then?
Just have your own static Hashtable in Global.
