HttpContext.Cur rent.Cache configuration?

I use HttpContext.Cur rent.Cache.Inse rt to add some items to the cache.

1) How can I configure how much memory that is allocated to the cache?

2) What are the defaults?

3) If I don't specifiy any expiration when calling Insert, how long will
cached elements live?

Olav:
The HttpCache shares the memory of the worker process. By default that's
60% of the total available memory.

It can be changed by editing:
C:\windows\Micr osoft.NET\Frame work\v1.1.4322\ CONFIG\machine. config

Look for the <processModel section which allows you to control the max
memory consumption (in Windows 2003 you have more control from IIS).
Anyways, you can't allocate specifically for HttpCache,only for the entire
worker process.

If you don't specify a absolute or sliding expiration it'll use the
NoAbsoluteExpir ation and NoSlidingExpira tion which is the same as doing
DateTime.MaxVal ue...in other words it'll stay in the cache as long as it
isn't removed by ASP.Net because it needs to free up memory.

Hi, I've stumbled onto a problem when using the caching object in ASP.Net. I'm placing a static dataset to the cache as the data only changes once a day. Whilst writing to the cache I'm using a lock using code like below (just typed this in); Cache thisCache = HttpContext.Current.Cache lock(thisCache)

Hello I am delivering an asp.net 2.0 application to my customer. I need to know, If I need to check for the condition of HttpContext.Current to be null in my business logic. I have extensively used Cache and Session objects, and currently I assume HttpContext.Current object to be existent. Also, since I do not have this check, some of my unit test cases fail because there is no HttpContext for them.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
