The HttpCachePolicy Class
Just
as the OutputCache
page directive provides a high-level API for implementing caching, a
low-level API is available through the HttpCachePolicy class. This
class is contained within the System.Web namespace. It uses HTTP
headers to control the caching. The HttpCachePolicy class mirrors the
functionality provided by the page directive. It also provides
additional low-level control, comparable to the type of control
provided for object caching.
To use the HttpCachePolicy class to control output caching, do not
include an OutputCache directive in the page file.
Instead, use the Response.Cache syntax, as shown in the highlighted
lines in Example 18-21 (for VB.NET) or Example 18-22 (for C#). (Example 18-22
includes only the script block, since the HTML is identical to that
in Example 18-21. Note that these
examples are
similar to Example 18-3 and Example 18-4.)
