Remarks

The SetETagFromFileDependencies method sets the ETag header by retrieving the last modified time stamps of all files on which the handler is dependent, combining all file names and time stamps into a single string, then hashing that string into a single digest that is used as the ETag.

SetETagFromFileDependencies is introduced in the .NET Framework version 3.5. For more information, see .NET Framework Versions and Dependencies.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to set the ETag header.

Visual Basic

C#

Response.Cache.SetETagFromFileDependencies();
