Caching Big amounts of data ASP.NET

[pechar]

Hi all,

I am using a web service to retrieve data from a remote foxpro database for an ecommerce database. Practically all data except static content will be retrieved through this web service. I have a scenario where users select categories of products and after retrieving the products by category they can filter by price and brand.

I would like to get the products by category from web service but then cache the data for the filtering to reduce calls to the webservice. Where is the best to store this? Viewstate, Context, Session? or should I use Caching?

The data is in the format of an array[ ]. Or is there a better way around this

Thanks
Lukas

hi lukas, have a look at http://www.sharedcache.com i'm pretty sure it will answer your question. if this would not help, then i would use the normal .net cache

Thank you for your reply. I did some research and dont think I'll be needing the sharedcache tool. I will be using .net cache to cache my datasources. In my case this page answered my question: Caching dataset in a website

Hope this helps anyone with the same problem
