OutputCacheLocation Enum

Definition

Specifies the valid values for controlling the location of the output-cached HTTP response for a resource.

public enum class OutputCacheLocation
public enum OutputCacheLocation
type OutputCacheLocation = 
Public Enum OutputCacheLocation
Inheritance
OutputCacheLocation

Fields

Any 0

The output cache can be located on the browser client (where the request originated), on a proxy server (or any other server) participating in the request, or on the server where the request was processed. This value corresponds to the Public enumeration value.

Client 1

The output cache is located on the browser client where the request originated. This value corresponds to the Private enumeration value.

Downstream 2

The output cache can be stored in any HTTP 1.1 cache-capable devices other than the origin server. This includes proxy servers and the client that made the request.

None 4

The output cache is disabled for the requested page. This value corresponds to the NoCache enumeration value.

Server 3

The output cache is located on the Web server where the request was processed. This value corresponds to the Server enumeration value.

ServerAndClient 5

The output cache can be stored only at the origin server or at the requesting client. Proxy servers are not allowed to cache the response. This value corresponds to the combination of the Private and Server enumeration values.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how the Server value is used to specify that the page should be cached on the Web server where the request is processed.

<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>

// The following OutputCache directive uses the OutputCacheLocation.Server
// enumeration value to allow output caching only on the origin server.
<%@ outputcache duration="10" varybyparam="none" Location="Server" %>

Remarks

The values specified by this enumeration are used when you include an @ OutputCache directive in an .aspx file. These values determine the cache location for page output. For more information, see Caching ASP.NET Pages.
