member this.SetAllowResponseInBrowserHistory : bool -> unit

Public Sub SetAllowResponseInBrowserHistory (allow As Boolean)

Parameters

allow: Boolean

Remarks

When HttpCacheability is set to NoCache or ServerAndNoCache the Expires HTTP header is by default set to -1; this tells the client not to cache responses in the History folder, so that when you use the back/forward buttons the client requests a new version of the response each time. You can override this behavior by calling the SetAllowResponseInBrowserHistory method with the allow parameter set to true.

If HttpCacheability is set to values other than NoCache or ServerAndNoCache, calling the SetAllowResponseInBrowserHistory method with either value for allow has no effect.

SetAllowResponseInBrowserHistory is introduced in the .NET Framework version 3.5. For more information, see Versions and Dependencies.
