Syntax

public DataCacheItemVersion Add(
    string key,
    object value,
    TimeSpan timeout,
    IEnumerable<DataCacheTag> tags
)

public:
DataCacheItemVersion^ Add(
    String^ key,
    Object^ value,
    TimeSpan timeout,
    IEnumerable<DataCacheTag^>^ tags
)

member Add : 
        key:string *
        value:Object *
        timeout:TimeSpan *
        tags:IEnumerable<DataCacheTag> -> DataCacheItemVersion

Public Function Add (
    key As String,
    value As Object,
    timeout As TimeSpan,
    tags As IEnumerable(Of DataCacheTag)
) As DataCacheItemVersion

Parameters

• key
  Type: System.String

  A unique value that is used to store and retrieve the object from the cache. Key names must be less than 65 KB.

• value
  Type: System.Object

  The object saved to the cache.

• timeout
  Type: System.TimeSpan

  The amount of time that the object should reside in the cache before expiration.

• tags
  Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<DataCacheTag>

  An array of DataCacheTag objects to associate with the cached object.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheItemVersion

A DataCacheItemVersion object that represents the version of the object saved to the cache under the key value.

Remarks

If an item using the same key is already present in the cache, this call throws an exception of type DataCacheException with the ErrorCode set to KeyAlreadyExists. The timeout value associated with the cached object overrides expiration settings specified in the named cache configuration. Expiration settings are derived from the named cache configuration.
