Example not 100% clear
The example shown here may not be 100% clear, particularly to new developers - It seems to suggest that a control name + property needs to be passed as the key, which is not the case - In actual fact it requires any String, representing the key name for the cache item, e.g:

Cache.Get("cacheItemName")

Of course, the actual value of "cacheItemName" could have been derived from myTextBox.Text
