I am using
Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCache for caching
The problem is when I first add an item to the cache it preserves the time out but if I replace the existing item the cahce overrides the timeout to the default value. Here is the code I am using.
DataCache cache= new MyDataCahce();
// time out 30 secs
cache.Add("key",10, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(30000));
var temp = _cache.GetCacheItem("key");
temp.Timeout(); // minutes = 30 seconds which is correct
// Second time replace object at key
cache.Put("key",20)
var temp = _cache.GetCacheItem("key");
temp.Timeout(); // timeout reset to default and equals 10 minutes which is the default
What I ended up doing is getting the timeout of the existing item before I add new item to the Cache.
DataCache cache= new MyDataCahce();
// time out 30 secs at first
cache.Add("key",10, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(30000));
var temp = _cache.GetCacheItem("key");
temp.Timeout(); // minutes = 30 seconds which is correct
// Second time replace object at key may be after 10 seconds
var temp = _cache.GetCacheItem("key");
if(temp!=null) // it is not expired yet
{
var timeOut = temp.Timeout(); // less than 30 seconds should be about 20 seconds
cache.Put("key",20, timeOut )
var temp = _cache.GetCacheItem("key");
temp.Timeout(); // timeout less than 30 seconds
}
