What is Caching



It’s nothing but a thought kind of memory. In respect to asp.net it's the memory of the machine/server from where the source-code is running. It is the one way which allows storing complex data for reusability.

Now think criteria where clients access an ASP.NET page, there are basically two ways to provide them with the information they need:

· The ASP.NET page can either obtain information from server resources, such as from data that has been persisted to a database, or
· the ASP.NET page can obtain information from within the application.

Retrieving information from a resource outside the application will require more processing steps, and will therefore require more time and resources on the server than if the information can be obtained from within the application space.

Now, suppose the information's which sent to browsers have already been prepared then how faster the process of web-page.

The ASP.NET 3.5 Framework supports the following types of caching:

Page Output Caching:

Page Output Caching caches an entire page. 

Partial Page Caching:

Partial Page Caching enables you to get around this problem by enabling you to cache only particular regions of a page.

DataSource Caching:

You use DataSource Caching with the different ASP.NET DataSource controls such as the SqlDataSource and ObjectDataSource controls. When you enable caching with a DataSource control, the DataSource control caches the data that it represents.

Data Caching:

Finally, Data Caching is the fundamental caching mechanism. Behind the scenes, all the other types of caching use Data Caching. You can use Data Caching to cache arbitrary objects in memory. For example, you can use Data Caching to cache a Dataset across multiple pages in a web application.

Note:
The Cache object can also have an expiration which would allow us to reinstitute data into the memory in intervals. Using the same example as above, we can make the cache expire every two hours, and repopulate the data. It would do this every 2 hours throughout the day, allowing the most up to date data to be fetched. Below is an example of how something can be put into the cache:

Referenced from msdn 

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.caching.cache(VS.80).aspx

public void AddItemToCache(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
itemRemoved = false;
onRemove = new CacheItemRemovedCallback(this.RemovedCallback);
if (Cache["Key1"] == null)
Cache.Add("Key1", "Value 1", null, DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(60),TimeSpan.Zero, CacheItemPriority.High, onRemove);
}


public void RemoveItemFromCache(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(Cache["Key1"] != null)
Cache.Remove("Key1");
}

What is ASP.NET State Management? How to manage state in ASP.NET?


State management is used to keep values across post back event occurs.

There are two types of state management are available in the ASP.NET.

1) Client based State management

2) Server based State management

Client based state management

Here I am going to explain about in detail about client based state management.

1) What is View State?

View state is nothing but it is used to store the value across post back in the same page, Mean if you store the value in the Default.aspx page then that value is accessible only within the same Default.aspx page not able to call in the other pages like Default2.aspx etc.

Advantages:

Simple for a page level data

Possible to Encrypted

Can be set at the control level.

Disadvantage:

Overhead in encoding View State Values.

Makes a page heavy

View State Example

Client side


Enter Your Name <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Submit" onclick="Button1_Click" /><br />
<asp:Label ID="lblmsg" runat="server"></asp:Label>

Code behind


protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Declare value in the View State
    ViewState["key"] = TextBox1.Text;

    //check view state have value using if loop before assign value
    if (ViewState["key"] != null && ViewState["key"].ToString() != "")
    {
        //Get value from view state like below
        lblmsg.Text = ViewState["key"].ToString();
    }

    //Remove View state value like this
    ViewState["key"] = null;
}


2) What is Hidden field?

Hidden file is also client based state management control. It is keep the value across post back Refer below code sample for that. Hidden fields are also used to store data at the page level.

Advantages:

Simple to implement for a page specific data.

Can store small amount of data so they take less size.

Disadvantage:

Inappropriate for sensitive data.

Hidden Field value can be intercepted (clearly Visible) when over the network.

Hidden Field Example

Client side


Enter Name
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" onclick="Button1_Click" /><br />
<asp:Label ID="lblmsg" runat="server"></asp:Label>
<asp:HiddenField ID="HiddenField1" runat="server" />

Code behind


protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //Assign value in hidden field like below
        HiddenField1.Value = TextBox1.Text;
       
        //Get the value from hidden field like below
        lblmsg.Text = HiddenField1.Value;
    }


3) What is Cookie?

A Cookie is a small piece of data stored on the user's computer. Most browsers allow only 20 cookies per site

Advantages:

Simplicity easy to create and use in web page.

Disadvantages:


Cookies functionality may be disabled on Users Browsers, so make sure before using this.

Cookies are transmitted for each HTTP request/response causing over head on bandwidth.

Cookies are Inappropriate for sensitive data like banking applications etc.


Cookie Example



protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Add cookies with key and name in the user's browsers
    Response.Cookies["UserId"].Value = TextBox1.Text;

    //Get back value from cookies and assign in the label control
    lblmsg.Text = Request.Cookies["UserId"].Value.ToString();
}


4) What is Query string?

Query String is usually used to send information from one page to another page. They are passed along with URL in clear text and also encrypted text passed through url.

Advantages:

Simple for to implement.

Disadvantage:

Human Readable unless you are not encrypt text before passing to query string.

Client Browser limit on URL length.

Cross paging functionality makes it redundant.

Easily modified by end user at run time if query string not encrypt.

Query String Example

Example

Page1.aspx Client side


Enter Name
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="Button1_Click" /><br />

Page1.aspx.cs Code behind


protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Get the text box value and pass that value in to other page using query string
    Response.Redirect("04QryString2.aspx?name=" + TextBox1.Text);
}

Page2.aspx.cs

In the second page get that query string value and bind in the label like below


protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!Page.IsPostBack)
    {
        Label1.Text = Request.QueryString["name"].ToString();
    }
}




Server based state management

Here I am going to explain about in detail about server based state management. Here all this values are store in the server not in user client side.


1) What is Session?

Session is used to keep values across post back and keep values across all pages too, mean if you declare value in the session variable you can call that session value in any page of the project. Compare to other View state, hidden Field etc. Session have most popular state management control.

Session Example

Page1.aspx Client side


Enter Name
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="Button1_Click" /><br />

Page1.aspx.cs Code Behind


protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //initialize session value like below
    Session["name"] = TextBox1.Text;
    Response.Redirect("05Session2.aspx");
}

Page2.aspx Client side


<asp:Label ID="lblmsg" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>


Page2.aspx.cs Code Behind


protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!Page.IsPostBack)
    {
        //Check before bind session have value
        if (Session["name"] != null)
        {
            lblmsg.Text = Session["name"].ToString();
        }

        //Remove particular session and its value
        Session.Remove("name");

        //Remove all session in the project like below
        Session.RemoveAll();
    }
}


2) What is Cache?

Cache is also used to keep values in the server. It is not like session, it is application oriented control.


Cache Example

Code behind

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //Create cache like below
        Cache["t1"] = TextBox1.Text;

        //Get value from cache below
        Label1.Text = Cache["t1"].ToString();

        //Remove cache and its value like below
        Cache.Remove("t1");

    }
