Disk Based Output Caching Feature Now Available for ASP.NET 2.0

Wednesday, December 14, 2005

Dmitry continues to crank out cool ASP.NET utilities you can use. A little earlier today he posted a Disk-based Output Caching Module for ASP.NET 2.0 complete with full source code. There are two big advantage this module provides over the built-in in-memory output caching system:

1) It persists output-cached content across application restarts and worker process restarts.

2) It avoids having to store a lot of output cached content in memory (since it is instead saved to disk and then transmitted via Response.TransmitFile).

You can learn more and download it here.

Hope this helps,

Scott

In that case i hope you got around to fixing transmitFile, in 1.x it was a stupidly brain deal impl.

YAY! I was just grumbling to myself yesterday that I needed the disk-based caching feature in ASP.NET, only to find out it was removed in the RTM version.

Hi Simon,

I believe there was actually an implementation change to TransmitFile in an SP a couple of years ago (not sure if that is what you are referring to).

The current implementation of TransmitFile no longer opens or reads-in a file's content -- instead it gets sent back directly to a calling client. This makes it ideal for transmitting large files, as well as avoiding having to allocate things in memory.

Hope this helps,

Scott
