HttpResponse.WriteSubstitution Method
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
| Exception type | Condition |
|---|---|
| The target of callback is of type Control. |
You can use the WriteSubstitution method for post-cache substitution in your output-cached pages. By passing an HttpContext object to a callback method with a prescribed HttpResponseSubstitutionCallback signature, you can replace output cached content at any given location in the page cache. To initiate the replacement, call the WriteSubstitution method, passing it the callback method, which must be thread safe and can be either of the following:
-
A static method on the containing page or user control.
-
A static or instance method on another arbitrary object.
On the first request to the page, the WriteSubstitution calls the HttpResponseSubstitutionCallback delegate to produce the output. Then, it adds a substitution buffer to the response, which retains the delegate to call on future requests. Finally, it degrades client-side cacheability from public to server-only, ensuring future requests to the page re-invoke the delegate by not caching on the client.

| Post-cache substitution is not supported for a cached user control where output caching is applied at the user control level. This is also known as fragment caching. For more information, see Caching Portions of an ASP.NET Page. |
