SqlCacheDependency::GetUniqueID Method
Retrieves a unique identifier for a SqlCacheDependency object.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Return Value
Type: System::StringThe unique identifier for the SqlCacheDependency object, or nullptr if no identifier can be generated.
The SqlCacheDependency method returns an identifier used to uniquely track SqlCacheDependency objects associated with an item or application. The unique identifier generated when using table-based notifications is partially dependent on the change identifier generated by the database.
When using SQL Server 2005-based query notifications, the unique identifier is nullptr because SQL Server 2005 does not support returning unique identifiers for individual query notifications.
