Properties

this[string, string]

Gets or sets a value in the cache by using the default indexer property for an instance of the SlimMemoryCache class.

public object this[string key, string ns = null] { get; set; }

Parameters

key string

The unique identifier for the cache value to get or set.

ns string

The optional namespace that provides a scope to the cache.

Property Value

object

The value in the cache for the specified key, if the entry exists; otherwise, null.

KeyProvider

Gets the function delegate that is responsible for providing a unique identifier for the cache entry.

public Func<string, string, long> KeyProvider { get; }

Property Value

Func<string, string, long>

Methods

Add(CacheEntry, CacheInvalidation)

Inserts a cache entry into the cache and adds details about how the entry should be evicted.

public bool Add(CacheEntry entry, CacheInvalidation invalidation)

Parameters

entry CacheEntry

The object representing the cached value for a cache entry.

invalidation CacheInvalidation

The object that contains expiration details for a specific cache entry.

Returns

bool

true if insertion succeeded; otherwise, false when there is already an entry in the cache with the same key.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

entry cannot be null -or- invalidation cannot be null.

Add(string, object, IDependency, string)

Inserts a cache entry into the cache and adds details about how the entry should be evicted.

public bool Add(string key, object value, IDependency dependency, string ns = null)

Parameters

key string

The unique identifier of the cache.

value object

The stored value of the cache.

dependency IDependency

An IDependency implementations that monitors changes in the state of the data which a cache entry depends on. If a state change is registered, the cached value becomes invalid and is removed from the cache.

public bool Add(string key, object value, IEnumerable<IDependency> dependencies, string ns = null)

Parameters

key string

The unique identifier of the cache.

value object

The stored value of the cache.

dependencies IEnumerable<IDependency>

ns string

The optional namespace that provides a scope to the cache.

Returns

bool

true if insertion succeeded; otherwise, false when there is already an entry in the cache with the same key.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

key cannot be null.

Add(string, object, DateTime, string)

Inserts a cache entry into the cache and adds details about how the entry should be evicted.

public bool Add(string key, object value, DateTime absoluteExpiration, string ns = null)

Parameters

key string

The unique identifier of the cache.

value object

The stored value of the cache.

absoluteExpiration DateTime

The absolute expiration date time value from when the cached value becomes invalid and is removed from the cache.

ns string

The optional namespace that provides a scope to the cache.

Returns

bool

true if insertion succeeded; otherwise, false when there is already an entry in the cache with the same key.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

key cannot be null.

Add(string, object, TimeSpan, string)

Inserts a cache entry into the cache and adds details about how the entry should be evicted.

public bool Add(string key, object value, TimeSpan slidingExpiration, string ns = null)

Parameters

key string

The unique identifier of the cache.

value object

The stored value of the cache.

slidingExpiration TimeSpan

The sliding expiration time from when the cached value becomes invalid and is removed from the cache.

ns string

The optional namespace that provides a scope to the cache.

Returns

bool

true if insertion succeeded; otherwise, false when there is already an entry in the cache with the same key.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

key cannot be null.

Contains(string, string)

Determines whether a cache entry exists in the cache.

public bool Contains(string key, string ns = null)

Parameters

key string

The unique identifier for the cache entry.

Parameters

key string

The unique identifier for the cache entry.

ns string

The optional namespace that provides a scope to the cache.

Returns

object

A reference to the value in the cache container that is identified by key, if the entry exists; otherwise, null.

Exceptions

GetCacheEntry(string, string)

Returns an entry from the cache as a CacheEntry instance.

public CacheEntry GetCacheEntry(string key, string ns = null)

key string

The unique identifier of the cache.

value object

The stored value of the cache.

invalidation CacheInvalidation

The object that contains expiration details for a specific cache entry.

ns string

The optional namespace that provides a scope to the cache.

Remarks

The Set(string, object, CacheInvalidation, string) method always puts a cache value in the cache, regardless whether an entry already exists with the same key. If the specified entry does not exist in the cache, a new cache entry is inserted. If the specified entry exists, its value is updated.
