.NET Web Caching

[Tim]

Are there any additional IIS 5.0 settings that need to be
configured to get caching to work on a web server. I have
a .NET web application and I'm trying to cache some
DataSets.

I'm building a .NET C# web application using web caching.
The Cache class only works when I'm using an aspx page. I
want this Caching logic to be in its own class file (.cs)
in another project so other developers can use it too.
I'm instaintiating the Cache class like this but the
methods do not work like this.

Cache webCache = new Cache();
webCache.Add(.......)

Does web caching have to happen in aspx pages only?

First of all, Tim, you don't want to create a new Cache object; it already
exists in the Application. When you reference an object from the HttpContext
of a Page from a class that doesn't derive from Page, you can grab it from
the HttpContext under which the class operates (which is from inside a
Page). Example:

System.Web.Caching.Cache myCache = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache;
myCache.Add(...);

Thx Kevin! My application worked exactly the way you
indicated.
