Provides an application-wide implementation of the VaryByCustom property.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Syntax
Visual Basic
Public Overridable Function GetVaryByCustomString ( _ context As HttpContext, _ custom As String _ ) As String
C#
public virtual string GetVaryByCustomString( HttpContext context, string custom )
Visual C++
public: virtual String^ GetVaryByCustomString( HttpContext^ context, String^ custom )
F#
abstract GetVaryByCustomString : context:HttpContext * custom:string -> string override GetVaryByCustomString : context:HttpContext * custom:string -> string
Parameters
- context
- Type: System.Web.HttpContext
An HttpContext object that contains information about the current Web request.
- custom
- Type: System.String
The custom string that specifies which cached response is used to respond to the current request.
Return Value
Type: System.StringIf the value of the custom parameter is "browser", the browser's Type; otherwise, null.
Remarks
You can override GetVaryByCustomString to add a new method for calculating custom vary-by values that are based on the current request. The implementation has to call the base class for custom values that it does not recognize. For more information, see How to: Cache Versions of a Page Using Custom Strings.
