ObjectCache::AddOrGetExisting Method (String, Object, CacheItemPolicy, String)
Visual Studio 2010
When overridden in a derived class, inserts a cache entry into the cache, specifying a key and a value for the cache entry, and information about how the entry will be evicted.
Assembly: System.Runtime.Caching (in System.Runtime.Caching.dll)
public: virtual Object^ AddOrGetExisting( String^ key, Object^ value, CacheItemPolicy^ policy, String^ regionName ) abstract
Parameters
- key
- Type: System::String
A unique identifier for the cache entry.
- value
- Type: System::Object
The object to insert.
- policy
- Type: System.Runtime.Caching::CacheItemPolicy
An object that contains eviction details for the cache entry. This object provides more options for eviction than a simple absolute expiration.
- regionName
- Type: System::String
Optional. A named region in the cache to which the cache entry can be added, if regions are implemented. The default value for the optional parameter is nullptr.
Return Value
Type: System::ObjectIf a cache entry with the same key exists, the specified cache entry's value; otherwise, nullptr.
The AddOrGetExisting(String, Object, CacheItemPolicy, String) method returns an object value, not a CacheItem object.
