Cache: Application or Session?

[Greg Collins [MVP]]

I think I know the answer, but I need to be absolutely sure.

Currently I'm using Cache.Insert() -- Is this an Application level or Session level Cache? As far as I can tell there's only 1 Cache object and it's Application level, but if I'm misguided on that, I want to make sure I'm using the Application Cache and not the Session Cache.

Thanx again in advance!

Greg:
i have an article which discusses ASP.Net storage mechanisms at
http://openmymind.net/DataStorage/index.html

HttpCache is application level, however you could turn it into somewhat of a
session level via the cacheKey:

string cacheKey = "GetUserSettings:" + userId.ToString()

at which point the cached information is specific to a user (although it's
still accessible throughout the application)...

Hope this helps,
Karl
