CacheItemUpdateCallback Delegate
Defines a callback method for notifying applications before a cached item is removed from the cache.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
type CacheItemUpdateCallback = delegate of key:string * reason:CacheItemUpdateReason * expensiveObject:Object byref * dependency:CacheDependency byref * absoluteExpiration:DateTime byref * slidingExpiration:TimeSpan byref -> unit
Parameters
- key
-
Type:
System.String
The identifier of the item that is being removed from the cache.
- reason
-
Type:
System.Web.Caching.CacheItemUpdateReason
The reason that the item is being removed from the cache.
- expensiveObject
-
Type:
System.Object
When this method returns, contains the cached item object that contains the updates.
- dependency
-
Type:
System.Web.Caching.CacheDependency
When this method returns, contains the object that defines the dependency between the item object and a file, a cache key, an array of either, or another CacheDependency object.
- absoluteExpiration
-
Type:
System.DateTime
When this method returns, contains the time at which the object expired.
- slidingExpiration
-
Type:
System.TimeSpan
When this method returns, contains the interval between the time that the object was last accessed and the time at which the object expired.
When an object expires in the cache, ASP.NET calls the CacheItemUpdateCallback method with the key for the cache item and the reason you might want to update the item. The remaining parameters of this method are out parameters. You supply the new cached item and optional expiration and dependency values to use when refreshing the cached item.
The update callback is not called if the cached item is explicitly removed by using a call to Remove.
If you want the cached item to be removed from the cache, you must return null in the expensiveObject parameter. Otherwise, you return a reference to the new cached data by using the expensiveObject parameter. If you do not specify expiration or dependency values, the item will be removed from the cache only when memory is needed.
If the callback method throws an exception, ASP.NET suppresses the exception and removes the cached value.
