Examples

The following code example demonstrates using the PartialCachingAttribute. This example has three parts:

A partial class, ctlMine, that inherits from the UserControl base class and to which the PartialCachingAttribute attribute is applied.
A user control that is used with the ctlMine partial class.
A Web Forms page that hosts the user control.

The first part of the example demonstrates a partial class that inherits from the UserControl base class and to which the PartialCachingAttribute attribute is applied. In this example, the attribute specifies that the user control should be cached for 20 seconds.

// [filename partialcache.cs]
// Create a code-behind user control that is cached
// for 20 seconds using the PartialCachingAttribute class.
// This control uses a DataGrid server control to display
// XML data.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Data;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace Samples.AspNet.CS.Controls
{

    // Set the PartialCachingAttribute.Duration property to 20 seconds.
    [PartialCaching(20)]
    public partial class ctlMine : UserControl
    {

        protected void Page_Load(Object Src, EventArgs E)
        {
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();

            FileStream fs = new FileStream(Server.MapPath("schemadata.xml"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(fs);
            ds.ReadXml(reader);
            fs.Close();

            DataView Source = new DataView(ds.Tables[0]);
            // Use the LiteralControl constructor to create a new
            // instance of the class.
            LiteralControl myLiteral = new LiteralControl();
            // Set the LiteralControl.Text property to an HTML
            // string and the TableName value of a data source.
            myLiteral.Text = "<h6><font face=verdana>Caching an XML Table: " + Source.Table.TableName + " </font></h6>";
            MyDataGrid.DataSource = Source;
            MyDataGrid.DataBind();

            TimeMsg.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("G");
        }
    }
}

            TimeMsg.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("G")
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace

The second part of the example shows a user control that is used with the previous example to demonstrate user control caching.

<!-- The mark-up .ascx file that displays the output of
     the partialcache.cs user control code-behind file. -->
<%@ Control language="C#" inherits="Samples.AspNet.CS.Controls.ctlMine" CodeFile="partialcache.cs.ascx.cs" %>

  <ASP:DataGrid id="MyDataGrid" runat="server"
    Width="900"
    BackColor="#ccccff"
    BorderColor="black"
    ShowFooter="false"
    CellPadding="3"
    CellSpacing="0"
    Font-Names="Verdana"
    Font-Size="8pt"
    HeaderStyle-BackColor="#aaaadd"
    EnableViewState="false"
  />

  <i>Control last generated on:</i> <asp:label id="TimeMsg" runat="server" />

    EnableViewState="false"
  />

  <i>Control last generated on:</i> <asp:label id="TimeMsg" runat="server" />

The third part of the example demonstrates a Web Forms page that hosts the user control.

Remarks

The PartialCachingAttribute attribute class marks user controls (.ascx files) that support fragment caching, and encapsulates the cache settings that ASP.NET uses when caching the control. Page and controls developers use the PartialCachingAttribute attribute to enable output caching for a user control in a code-behind file.

Using the PartialCachingAttribute is one of several ways you can enable output caching. The following list describes methods you can use to enable output caching.

Use the @ OutputCache directive to enable output caching in declarative scenarios.
Use the PartialCachingAttribute to enable caching for a user control in a code-behind file.
Use the ControlCachePolicy class to programmatically specify cache settings in programmatic scenarios in which you are working with BasePartialCachingControl instances.

If a user control contains an @ OutputCache directive or has a PartialCachingAttribute applied, the ASP.NET parser generates an instance of the PartialCachingControl class to wrap the user control.

For more information about ASP.NET caching, see Caching. For more information about using attributes, see Attributes.

Constructors

PartialCachingAttribute(Int32, String, String, String, Boolean)	Initializes a new instance of the PartialCachingAttribute class, specifying the caching duration, any `GET` and `POST` values, control names, custom output caching requirements used to vary the cache, and whether the user control output can be shared with multiple pages.
PartialCachingAttribute(Int32, String, String, String, String, Boolean)	Initializes a new instance of the PartialCachingAttribute class, specifying the caching duration, any `GET` and `POST` values, control names, custom output caching requirements used to vary the cache, the database dependencies, and whether the user control output can be shared with multiple pages.
PartialCachingAttribute(Int32, String, String, String)	Initializes a new instance of the PartialCachingAttribute class, specifying the caching duration, any GET and POST values, control names, and custom output caching requirements used to vary the cache.
PartialCachingAttribute(Int32)	Initializes a new instance of the PartialCachingAttribute class with the specified duration assigned to the user control to be cached.

Properties

Duration	Gets the amount of time, in seconds, that cached items should remain in the output cache.
ProviderName	Gets or sets the name of the provider that is used to store the output-cached data for the associated control.
