Hi,

Regarding your suggestion of using a static property - I completely agree, and have updated the code sample accordingly.

Also, regarding the HttpContext dependency, I originally had a singleton implementation, which I removed from this post for the sake of brevity, however you've inspired me to put this back in, as some may find it useful.

simonech, Given the example you suggested, if using this, you'd be forced to cache the "whole newspaper" and use something like: SafeCache<Newspaper>.Object.Categories(2).

However, I think it might be possible to have a different version of this, which is parameterized generically, by having:

public SafeCache<Type, Parameter>
{
public Type GetObject(Parameter param)
{
//Get and cache including param.ToString() somehow in the cache-key
}
}

I'm sure there's probably a more flexible way of doing this.

Thanks for your ideas,
Dave

I exposed my collection in an unsafe manner once.

Ended up spending a night in the slammer :(
