Hi folks, I'm using C#, ASP.net and the .Net Framework 1.1 with VS 2003.
A quick overview of what I'm trying to do:
I have a windows authentication using Intranet application that has manager
names in a dropdown. A manager opens their browser clicks on the right
bookmark and and can choose their own name and then proceed to see their
portfolio of clients.
The reality is though that a there isn't a one-to-one mapping between people
in the real world and the logical manager name. A manager has assistants and
more than one of them may log on, choose their manager's name and then view
the portfolio.
the problem
I wish to cache the page output so that if more than one assistant chooses
their same manager the pages will be cached, but I can't rely on the whole
page being cached because I show who is logged into the application in a
little <divat the top left side of the page, in other words if I didn't
want to show who is logged in I could just cache the entire page and that
would be a simple directive, but I somehow want to cache the data 'per
manager' chosen and still be able to show who is logged in..
I have a sense that I may need to use .ascx user controls for the data etc..
or play around with the 'vary by' clauses
any thoughts?, any articles?
Regards and many thanks in advance
