Properties

The following table lists the properties exposed by the OutputCacheSection class.

Name	Description
`EnableFragmentCache`	A read/write `boolean` value. `true` if the application fragment cache is enabled; otherwise, `false`. The default is `true`. If the fragment cache is disabled, no pages are cached, regardless of the `@ OutputCache` directive or caching profile used.
`EnableKernelCacheForVaryByStar`	A read/write `boolean` value. `true` if kernel caching is enabled for the application when "Vary: *" headers are included in cached pages; otherwise, `false`. The default is `false`.
`EnableOutputCache`	A read/write `boolean` value. `true` if the page output cache is enabled; otherwise, `false`. The default is `true`. If the output cache is disabled, no pages are cached, regardless of any programmatic or declarative settings.
`Location`	(Inherited from `ConfigurationSection`.) A key property.
`OmitVaryStar`	An optional read/write `boolean` value. `true` if an HTTP "Vary: " header is omitted in the response; otherwise, `false`. The default is `false`, which sends a "Vary: " header for output cached pages. The `Vary` header indicates the request-header fields that the server uses to determine which of multiple cached responses are sent in response to a client request.
`Path`	(Inherited from `ConfigurationSection`.) A key property.
`SectionInformation`	(Inherited from `ConfigurationSection`.)
`SendCacheControlHeader`	An optional read/write `boolean` value. `true` if the `Cache-Control: private` header is sent by the output cache module by default; otherwise, `false`. The default is `true`.
