I have implemented asp.net caching. But I am getting weird results
Unlike most caching where you are trying to avoid the amount of hits to the DB. I am trying to avoid any hits to the DB by the user. This is b/c the amount of time the fist page takes to load. It is basically a dashboard with a lot of charts and long running queries
I tried several techniques 1) Have the cache time very long and have a schedule process expire and get new cache. 2) and on RemoveCallback
In the second option I have all the cache go through a static class I created. The purpose is as it expires to refresh the data. Here is what I am calling.
Cache.Insert(dbCacheString, dtNetwork, null, DateTime.Now.AddHours(2),
System.Web.Caching.Cache.NoSlidingExpiration, CacheItemPriority.High,
new CacheItemRemovedCallback(CacheManager.CacheRemovedCallback));
public static class CacheManager
{
private static Hashtable times = new Hashtable();
private static bool isRefreshingCache = false;
public static void CacheRemovedCallback(String key, object value,
CacheItemRemovedReason removedReason)
{
RefreshCache(key);
}
public static void StartCache()
{
string lcUrl = "http://localhost/ratingspage/";
// *** Establish the request
try
{
WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("xxx", "xxx",
"xxx");
byte[] myDataBuffer = client.DownloadData(lcUrl);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ErrHandler.WriteError(ex.Message + "\n" +
ex.StackTrace.ToString());
LogUtil.LogDebugMessages(ex.Message + ":" +
ex.StackTrace.ToString());
}
}
public static void RefreshCache(string key)
{
string controlname = "";
if ( key.ToLower().StartsWith("control:") )
{
string[] tmp = key.Split(':');
if (tmp.Length > 1)
controlname = tmp[1];
else
return;
}
else
return;
string lcUrl = "http://localhost/ratingspage/Admin/" + "
"LoadControl.aspx?CachingSpider=true&Control=" + controlname;
string lcHtml = isRefreshingCache.ToString();
// *** Establish the request
if (!isRefreshingCache)
{
isRefreshingCache = true;
lcHtml = isRefreshingCache.ToString();
try
{
WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("xxx",
"xxx", "xxx");
byte[] myDataBuffer = client.DownloadData(lcUrl);
lcHtml = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(myDataBuffer);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
lcHtml = ex.Message;
isRefreshingCache = false;
ErrHandler.WriteError(ex.Message + "\n" +
ex.StackTrace.ToString());
LogUtil.LogDebugMessages(ex.Message + ":" +
ex.StackTrace.ToString());
}
isRefreshingCache = false;
}
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(
new MailAddress("jgiblin@univision.net"),
new MailAddress("jgiblin@univision.net"));
mail.Subject = "Cache Expire: " + key;
mail.Body = string.Format("The Key {0} has expired at {1}",
key, DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString() + " " +
DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString()) + "\nRefreshing Cache: " +
lcHtml;
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("mercury.utg.uvn.net");
mail.IsBodyHtml = false;
try
{
smtp.Send(mail);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ErrHandler.WriteError(ex.Message + "\n" +
ex.StackTrace.ToString());
LogUtil.LogDebugMessages(ex.Message + ":" +
ex.StackTrace.ToString());
}
}
}
for some reason, when I go to the page. Someone times the data is cached and sometimes it is not. Is there something wrong here
I tried app fabric but since the server does not have iis 7 I am not able to use that
The amount of data you can get into the cache may be the issue.
If the cache is full then the data will obviously not be cached.
You can check your memory allocation using the process monitor , have a look in "Cache Total Entries."
Looks to me like you may have a race condition in your RefreshCache call. Check out this great answer for suggestions on how to handle synchronization:

If I were you, I'd simplify my code. You only really need:
