actively resetting cache of web a method

[mmuurman]

Hello,

I am trying to reset the cache of a web method from code like this:

[WebMethod(Cache Duration=100)]
public DateTime TheTime()
{
return DateTime.Now;
}
[WebMethod]
public void ResetCache()
{
System.Reflecti on.MethodInfo mi = GetType().GetMe thod("TheTime") ;
object [] attributes = mi.GetCustomAtt ributes(false);
foreach( object objAttribute in attributes)
{
if( objAttribute is WebMethodAttrib ute)
{
WebMethodAttrib ute webmethodAttrib ute =
(WebMethodAttri bute)objAttribu te;
webmethodAttrib ute.CacheDurati on = 0;
//webmethodAttrib ute.CacheDurati on =100;
}
}
}

My ResetCache() method should enforce the TheTime() method to reset but
this doesn't work. Does anybody know how to reset/flush the cache of a
web method from code?

Greetings,
Martijn Muurman

I believe that in order to do this you have to use the Context.Cache
(System.Web.Cac hing.Cache) object to cache the data as opposed to the result
of the method call ...

You can even provide a dependency object to that cache.
