Problem with output caching

[Jack]

Is anyone able to get output caching to work on web services?

I have followed KB 318299 which involves adding a method like the one below and calling twice within a short period of time. The second execution should use the result from the cache of first execution, but does not and executes the method a second time.

[WebMethod( CacheDuration=600 )]
public string CacheTest()
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder( "Method executed at " );
sb.Append(System.DateTime.Now.ToString());
return( sb.ToString() );
}

Result 1.....

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">Method executed at 29/07/2004 23:16:05</string>

Result 2 ... just 2 seconds later

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">Method executed at 29/07/2004 23:16:07</string>

My understanding was that output caching only works in Web services if the
Web service is compiled stand-alone, rather than together with a client.
Make sure that they are compiled separately and then test your scenario
again.

OK, it does work with a seperate client...
The MS KB article http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;318299 describes testing the caching from the test page that is generated by the web service and this does not work. I would like MSoft to correct the article.

Thanks for your help...

Thanks for your response but I need some help here.
Do I need to move the webservice to another project or another virtual
directory to have it compile separetly? Where are the project dlls stored in
v2?
