how to clear browser cache of this same aspx page with JS

Question

User-775831949 posted

I have a aspx page full of JS.

It is working fine except I found user browser remember this same url and the next hour when they load the same page the old stuff is still there even the external js is changed etc.

Maybe due to my aspx and code behind didnt change so the browser pull the same old cache...

Is there a C# or js code to force clear cache each time even it is just reload for this same aspx page name ?

Pls help, thanks

Hi hkbeer,

Is there a C# or js code to force clear cache each time even it is just reload for this same aspx page name ?

Based on my knowledge, Javascript cannot used to clear the cache. And the common way is to append the revision number or updated timestamp to the file like below:

scriptfile.123.js

Or

scriptfile.js?updated=1234567890

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me any time.

Hi hkbeer,

The cache you mentioned above is kept by bowser so it cannot be cleared via C# or JavaScript code except that the user clear the browser cache manually.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me any time.
