ObjectCache::Add Method (String^, Object^, CacheItemPolicy^, String^)
When overridden in a derived class, inserts a cache entry into the cache, specifying information about how the entry will be evicted.
Assembly: System.Runtime.Caching (in System.Runtime.Caching.dll)
public: virtual bool Add( String^ key, Object^ value, CacheItemPolicy^ policy, String^ regionName = null )
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 null.
Return Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the insertion try succeeds, or false if there is an already an entry in the cache with the same key as key.
The Add method overloads are virtual (not abstract) on the ObjectCache class, because the Add method internally calls AddOrGetExisting. This reduces the number of method overloads that a cache implementer has to provide. If a cache implementation does not require any special behavior for the Add method, it can just implement the AddOrGetExisting method overloads.
