SqlCacheDependencyAdmin Class

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Web.Caching
Assembly:
System.Web.dll

Performs administrative tasks required on a SQL Server database to support the SqlCacheDependency class when using polling-based dependencies. This class cannot be inherited.

public ref class SqlCacheDependencyAdmin abstract sealed
public static class SqlCacheDependencyAdmin
type SqlCacheDependencyAdmin = class
Public Class SqlCacheDependencyAdmin
Inheritance
Object
SqlCacheDependencyAdmin

Examples

The following code example is a simple ASP.NET page for enabling and disabling change notifications on SQL Server database tables. It uses the SqlCacheDependencyAdmin object to manage change notifications in the database specified in a connection string called MyConnectionString. The example includes two files, an .aspx file that defines the user interface and a code-behind file containing the source code for the ASP.NET events.

The first sample is the .aspx file that defines the user interface.

Important

This example has a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.

Remarks

You can use the methods of this class to programmatically enable and disable a SQL Server database and its tables for SqlCacheDependency object change notifications. In addition, this class obtains information about which tables in a database are enabled for change notifications using the GetTablesEnabledForNotifications method. However, you can also use the Aspnet_regsql command-line tool to manage change notifications for a SQL Server database and its tables.

Note

To call any of the methods in this class, the account you use to access the SQL Server database must have permissions to create tables and stored procedures. To enable notifications on a specific table, you must have permissions to create a SQL Server trigger on that table. For more information on how to set permissions on a database, see the SQL Server documentation. For more information about the account used by the ASP.NET process, see ASP.NET Impersonation.
