Syntax

public class CacheEvictionPolicy

Remarks

Once an instance of CacheEvictionPolicy has been created, the instance is immutable. This is done to allow for re-using the same CacheEvictionPolicy instance multiple times when you have identical cache policy requirements for multiple cache insertions.

Constructors

CacheEvictionPolicy(IEnumerable<String>)

Initializes a new instance of the CacheEvictionPolicy class.

Declaration

public CacheEvictionPolicy(IEnumerable<string> cacheKeys)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.String>	cacheKeys	The dependencies to other cached items, idetified by their keys.

CacheEvictionPolicy(IEnumerable<String>, IEnumerable<String>, IEnumerable<String>)

Initializes a new instance of the CacheEvictionPolicy class.

Declaration

public CacheEvictionPolicy(IEnumerable<string> files, IEnumerable<string> cacheKeys, IEnumerable<string> masterKeys)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.String>	files	The files that the item depends upon.
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.String>	cacheKeys	The dependencies to other cached items, idetified by their keys.
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.String>	masterKeys	The master keys that we depend upon.

CacheEvictionPolicy(IEnumerable<String>, IEnumerable<String>, IEnumerable<String>, TimeSpan, CacheTimeoutType)

Initializes a new instance of the CacheEvictionPolicy class.

Declaration

public CacheEvictionPolicy(IEnumerable<string> files, IEnumerable<string> cacheKeys, IEnumerable<string> masterKeys, TimeSpan expiration, CacheTimeoutType timeoutType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.String>	files	The files that the item depends upon.
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.String>	cacheKeys	The dependencies to other cached items, idetified by their keys.
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.String>	masterKeys	The master keys that we depend upon.
System.TimeSpan	expiration	The expiration time span.
CacheTimeoutType	timeoutType	Type of cache timeout.

CacheEvictionPolicy(IEnumerable<String>, IEnumerable<String>, TimeSpan, CacheTimeoutType)

Initializes a new instance of the CacheEvictionPolicy class.

Declaration

public CacheEvictionPolicy(IEnumerable<string> files, IEnumerable<string> cacheKeys, TimeSpan expiration, CacheTimeoutType timeoutType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.String>	files	The files that the item depends upon.
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.String>	cacheKeys	The dependencies to other cached items, idetified by their keys.
System.TimeSpan	expiration	The expiration time span.
CacheTimeoutType	timeoutType	Type of cache timeout.

CacheEvictionPolicy(IEnumerable<String>, TimeSpan, CacheTimeoutType)

Initializes a new instance of the CacheEvictionPolicy class.

Declaration

public CacheEvictionPolicy(IEnumerable<string> cacheKeys, TimeSpan expiration, CacheTimeoutType timeoutType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.String>	cacheKeys	The dependencies to other cached items, idetified by their keys.
System.TimeSpan	expiration	The expiration time span.
CacheTimeoutType	timeoutType	Type of cache timeout.

CacheEvictionPolicy(TimeSpan, CacheTimeoutType)

Initializes a new instance of the CacheEvictionPolicy class.

Declaration

public CacheEvictionPolicy(TimeSpan expiration, CacheTimeoutType timeoutType)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.TimeSpan	expiration	The expiration time span.
CacheTimeoutType	timeoutType	Type of cache timeout.

Fields

Empty

The empty CacheEvictionPolicy.

Declaration

public static readonly CacheEvictionPolicy Empty

Field Value

Type	Description
CacheEvictionPolicy

Remarks

No special expiration policies have been defined.

Properties

CacheKeys

Gets the cache dependency keys.

Declaration

public string[] CacheKeys { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.String[]	The cache keys.

Expiration

Gets the expiration time span.

Declaration

public TimeSpan Expiration { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.TimeSpan	The expiration.

Remarks

If TimeoutType is set to Absolute, this is how long the item will remain in the cache before it is considered invalid. If TimeoutType is set to Sliding, then this is how long the item will be considered valid after the latest access. If TimeoutType is set to Undefined, this value is ignored.

Files

Gets the file dependencies.

Declaration

public string[] Files { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.String[]	The files.

Remarks

The strings should be fully qualified local file system paths to the dependent files.

MasterKeys

Gets the master keys.

Declaration

public string[] MasterKeys { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.String[]	The master keys.

Remarks

Master keys are used as markers to set up common dependencies without having to create the cache entries first. If you set up a master key dependency, there is no need for the corresponding entry to exist before adding something that depends on the master key.

The concept of master keys could be regarded as similar to the cache region concept, but using master keys allows you to have more than one, where cache regions is restricted to one per cached item - you can only place the item in one region.

TimeoutType

Gets the type of cache timeout.

Declaration

public CacheTimeoutType TimeoutType { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
CacheTimeoutType	The type of the timeout.

Remarks

See Expiration for more information.
