HttpContext.Cur rent.Cache not working.

Hello. I am trying to use caching to populate a datalist. The select
method of the associated objectdatasourc e calls up
GetRecipePageBy RecipeCatID() to request the proper data (I am using
custom paging at SQL level
so there is a paging idx as well). The code works fine when caching
is edited out.

Problem. The cache object is only created the first time around. When
the dtl ia refreshed, th HttpContext.cac he object always returns
nothing. What am I doing wrong (there is no application restart)?
Thks for your input.

Public Function GetRecipePageBy RecipeCatID(ByV al RecipeCatID As
Nullable(Of Integer), _
ByVal PageIndex As Nullable(Of Integer), ByVal NumRows As
Nullable(Of Integer), ByRef RecipeCount As Integer) _
As RecipeDataSet.t blRecipesDataTa ble

' Set key to get/set our cache'd data
Dim strCacheKey As String = "GetRecipePageB yRecipeCatID" &
RecipeCatID.ToS tring() & PageIndex.ToStr ing

If HttpContext.Cur rent.Cache(strC acheKey) IsNot Nothing
Then
Return CType(HttpConte xt.Current.Cach e(strCacheKey),
RecipeDataSet.t blRecipesDataTa ble)

Else
If Not RecipeCatID.Has Value Then RecipeCatID = 0
If Not PageIndex.HasVa lue Then PageIndex = 0
If Not NumRows.HasValu e Then NumRows = 4 ' Show 4
entries
If IsNothing(Recip eCount) Then RecipeCount = 0

Dim myDataSet As RecipeDataSet.t blRecipesDataTa ble =
Adapter.GetReci pePageByRecipeC atID(RecipeCatI D, PageIndex, NumRows,
RecipeCount)
HttpContext.Cur rent.Cache.Inse rt(strCacheKey,
myDataSet, Nothing, DateTime.Now.Ad dMinutes(30), TimeSpan.Zero)
Return myDataSet
End If
End Function

HttpContext.Cur rent.Cache is only maintained for one request. its mainly
used for handlers to send data to each other. you want session.

I think you are mistaken
HttpContext.Cur rent.Cache is the same as Application.Cac he and lives as
Application.
HttpContext.Cur rent.Items is the one that lives only during that request's
lifetime....

This problem may be caused by contradiction between the absolute and
the sliding expiration.

Try this:

HttpContext.Cur rent.Cache.Inse rt(strCacheKey, myDataSet, Nothing,
DateTime.Now.Ad dMinutes(30),
System.Web.Cach ing.Cache.NoSli dingExpiration)

or this:

HttpContext.Cur rent.Cache.Inse rt(strCacheKey, myDataSet, Nothing,
System.Web.Cach ing.Cache.NoAbs oluteExpiration , new
TimeSpan(0,30,0 ))

Thanks for your replies.

I was able to solve the problem after I realized that the the system
was short on RAM (my system is limited to 770 MB RAM). So closing a
bunch of FireFox pages solved the issue. Caching works ok.

A nasty side-effect has however now creeped in: the
odsRecipeDet_Se lected event of the datalist's associated
ObjectDataSourc e (odsRecipeDet) which is automatically triggered for
"fresh" data does not fire for cached data. This event is used to
update the custom navigation hyperlinks of the datalist. How can I re-
enable this event for cached data?

Thanks again for any hints.
