Remarks

The SetValidUntilExpires method is set to true automatically when the high-level <%@ OutputCache … %> page directive is used.

This method is provided because some browsers, when refreshing a page view, send HTTP cache invalidation headers to the Web server and evict the page from the cache. When the validUntilExpires parameter is true, ASP.NET ignores cache invalidation headers and the page remains in the cache until it expires.

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