Question:
If I have an ASP.NET User Control which defines/exposes a property that the
page can use to specify a mode or data subset for the control to use, is
there a way to tell the @OutputCache directive to vary its cache based on
that property value?
I.e., I have:
<my:control runat="server" id="mcOne" Flag="One" />
<my:control runat="server" id="mcTwo" Flag="Two" />
where Flag is a public property of the code-behind class (whose value
affects the display output), and I want the Flag="One" instance to
output-cache separately from the Flag="Two" instance.
So far, the control seems to output-cache only one version of the control,
and all successive displays of the control use that cached version,
regardless of the Flag attribute value.
Other notes:
The @OutputCache directive's VaryByParam attribute works only with GET and
POST values. (I did try VaryByParam="Flag" anyway, to no effect.)
Setting the @OutputCache directive's Shared attribute to "False" solves the
problem (by causing each usage of the control to cache separately), but has
the additional effect of requiring separate initial-loads and caches for
each page on which the control appears. Since I currently only have two or
three possible values of the Flag attribute, but these controls may appear
on many pages (and there is some work invovled in the initial load of the
data for this control), this is not ideal.
There doesn't seem to be any sort of VaryByProperty attribute for
@OutputCache (which surprises me). So...
Any other ideas?

Have you looked at VaryByCustom?

Yes, but I'm unclear on how that construct would be able to access anything
specific to the control being cached.
From http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...utputCache.asp
and http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...tringTopic.asp, I
see VaryByCustom allowing me to specify arbitrary rules that can act on the
HttpContext of the current request, but not on details within the control
itself (such as the value of a given property).
Unless I'm missing something....

I'm guessing from the lack of response that there's no ready way to do what
I'm looking for. :-(
If anyone from Microsoft is reading this, is there any indication that any
future versions of ASP.NET might support what I attempt to describe below?

Just a guess-- Have you looked at VaryByControl? http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...parameters.asp

According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...utputCache.asp
and http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...parameters.asp,
this sounds like VaryByControl directs the control to tie its caching
conditions (in a way that is unclear to me) to those of child control whose
ID matches the value of the VaryByControl attribute -- not quite what I'm
looking for. (I suppose that, with some work, I might be able to kludge
this into what I want, but...)
I'm looking for a way to direct the control to cache itself separately for
each value of an arbitrary specified property of that control. Sort of a
VaryByProperty="Flag" which would cause the control to be cached separately
for each value of the control's Flag property, as specified in the control's
HTML declaration (i.e., separately for Flag="One", Flag="Two", etc.).
I'm rather suprised that a VaryByProperty attribute of the @OutputCache
directive does not already exist (whether by that name or some other).
Again, unless I'm completely misunderstanding....

I believe VaryByControl is what you're looking for. VayByControl should
accept the name of a property of that control and you'll get different cache
variations depending on the value set in the prop.
