HttpResponse..::.AddFileDependency Method

Adds a single file name to the collection of file names on which the current response is dependent.

Namespace: System.Web
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Syntax
Public Sub AddFileDependency ( _
	filename As String _
)
public void AddFileDependency(
	string filename
)
public:
void AddFileDependency(
	String^ filename
)
member AddFileDependency : 
        filename:string -> unit 

Parameters

filename
Type: System..::.String
The name of the file to add.
Remarks

When you use the AddFileDependency method to add a file dependency, you must also specify output caching programmatically or declaratively. For example, to specify output caching declaratively, use the @ OutputCache directive. For more information, see How to: Cache Page Output with File Dependencies.

Examples

The following example shows how to add a single file name to the AddFileDependency file dependency list. If the file changes, the cached response is invalidated.


Dim FileName As String
 FileName = "C:\Files\F1.txt"
 Response.AddFileDependency(FileName)
    


String FileName;
 FileName = "C:\\Files\\F1.txt";
 Response.AddFileDependency(FileName);
