  How Long should I store this in cache?

  Aug 01, 2003 12:44 PM|LINK

  Hello, On my site, whenever a user views another users profile, I store the user object in memory. Right now, I store the object for 10 minutes. Is 10 minutes to long or to short? Just looking for some opinions. Thanks

  Do have a way of determining when the profile is made invalid? If so, you can use a cache key dependency when caching the object, and leave it in the cache indefinitely - when the dependency changes, the object will be removed from cache. hth, Adam

  So you dont think this would be a memory hog? If I have a couple hundred users hitting my site, that may add up quick.

  IIS and the ASP.NET process automatically manages the memory of the cache. If it gets too large, it starts dumping items out of the cache.
