Namespace: Microsoft.Data.Caching
Assembly: ClientLibrary (in clientlibrary.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function PutAndUnlock ( _
    key As String, _
    value As Object, _
    lockHandle As DataCacheLockHandle, _
    timeout As TimeSpan, _
    tags As List(Of DataCacheTag) _
) As DataCacheItemVersion
'Usage
Dim instance As DataCache
Dim key As String
Dim value As Object
Dim lockHandle As DataCacheLockHandle
Dim timeout As TimeSpan
Dim tags As List(Of DataCacheTag)
Dim returnValue As DataCacheItemVersion

returnValue = instance.PutAndUnlock(key, value, lockHandle, timeout, tags)

Parameters

  • key
    The unique value that is used to identify the object in the cache.
  • value
    The object to add or replace.
  • timeout
    A non-zero value that is used to specify how many minutes the object should reside in the cache before expiration.
  • tags
    A list of tags to associate with the object.

Return Value

A DataCacheItemVersion object that represents the version of the cached object after it has been updated by this method. If the lockHandle parameter is not equal to the DataCacheLockHandle object obtained from the method that is used to lock the object, is returned and the object is not updated.

Remarks

Locked objects are never expired, but they may expire immediately if unlocked after their expiration time. For more information, see Expiration and Eviction (Velocity).

Tags may only be used to retrieve a cached object if that object is stored in a region. This overload does not store the object in a region.

The timeout value associated with the cached object overrides expiration settings specified in the named cache configuration. For more information, see Expiration and Eviction (Velocity).
