Cache..::.Item Property

Gets or sets the cache item at the specified key.

Namespace:  System.Web.Caching
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Visual Basic
Public Property Item ( _
    key As String _
) As Object
    Get
    Set
C#
public Object this[
    string key
] { get; set; }
Visual C++
public:
property Object^ Item[String^ key] {
    Object^ get (String^ key);
    void set (String^ key, Object^ value);
}
F#
member Item : Object with get, set

Parameters

key
Type: System..::.String
A String object that represents the key for the cache item.

Property Value

Type: System..::.Object
The specified cache item.

You can use this property to retrieve the value of a specified cache item, or to add an item and a key for it to the cache. Adding a cache item using the Item property is equivalent to calling the Cache..::.Insert method.

The following example uses the Item property to retrieve the value of a cached object associated with the Key1 key. It then uses the HttpResponse..::.Write method to write the value and introductory text and the B HTML element to a Web Forms page.

Visual Basic
Response.Write("Value of cache key: <B>" + Server.HtmlEncode(CType(Cache("Key1"),String)) + "</B>")
C#
Response.Write("Value of cache key: <B>" + Server.HtmlEncode(Cache["Key1"] as string) + "</B>");

The following example demonstrates using this property to insert the value of a text box into the cache.

Visual Basic
Private Sub cmdAdd_Click(objSender As Object, objArgs As EventArgs)
  If txtName.Text <> "" Then
    ' Add this item to the cache.
  Cache(txtName.Text) = txtValue.Text
  End If
End Sub
C#
private void cmdAdd_Click(Object objSender, EventArgs objArgs)
{
    if (txtName.Text != "")
    {
        // Add this item to the cache.
        Cache[txtName.Text] = txtValue.Text;
    }
}
