Creating an ASP.NET MVC OutputCache ActionFilterAttribute

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 03:16:07 GMT

This blog post explains how to create an OutputCache ActionFilterAttribute to enable server-side and client-side caching. In every web application, there are situations where you want to cache the HTML output of a specific page for a certain amount of time, because underlying data and processing isn't really subject to changes a lot. This cached response is stored in the web server's memory and offers very fast responses because no additional processing is required. Using the ASP.NET MVC framework (preview 3, that is), output caching is still quite hard to do. Simply specifying the OutputCache directive in a view does not do the trick. Luckily, there's this thing called an ActionFilterAttribute, which lets you run code before and after a controller action executes.

IIS and .net 3.5 beta 2

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 20:01:21 GMT

We installed .net 3.5 beta 2 on a web server this morning. It did not work. Even our 2.0 webs stopped working. So to save others the trouble... Go ahead to %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v.2.0.something...\CONFIG\web.config Go ahead and remove all instances of xmlns="" and you're good to go! Also worth mentioning, 3.5 and 3.0 does not appear in the ASP.NET tag on IIS, only 2.0 does. This is because 3.0 and 3.5 are extensions of the 2.0 framework.
