ControlCachePolicy.SetSlidingExpiration Method (Boolean)
Instructs the BasePartialCachingControl control that wraps the user control to set the user control's cache entry to use sliding or absolute expiration.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Parameters
- useSlidingExpiration
-
Type:
System.Boolean
true to use sliding cache expiration instead of absolute expiration; otherwise, false.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| HttpException | The user control is not associated with a BasePartialCachingControl and is not cacheable. |
Use the SetExpires and SetSlidingExpiration methods (passing true) to instruct the BasePartialCachingControl control that wraps the user control to use a sliding expiration caching policy instead of an absolute expiration policy. Use the SetExpires method and the SetSlidingExpiration method (passing false) to specify an absolute expiration policy.
The following code example demonstrates how a user control can be loaded dynamically and manipulated programmatically at run time. A user control named SimpleControl is decorated with a PartialCachingAttribute attribute, which means it is wrapped by a PartialCachingControl control at run time. The SimpleControl object's caching settings can be programmatically manipulated through its associated ControlCachePolicy object, which is available through a reference to the PartialCachingControl control that wraps it. In this example, caching settings are examined during page initialization and changed if some conditions are met. This example is part of a larger example provided for the ControlCachePolicy class.
