Hi Guys,
I want to perform cheap,secure caching in azure (accessible only to my application).
The problem is that I want to cache more than just simple strings and values.
What I want to cache are items such as: List<myObject> for example.
I simply want to be able to store any object or collection which can be referenced by a key.
I'd also like to set the expiry time of the cached objects, so they get deleted/refreshed without me having to worry about it.
How can I achieve this?
The main purpose will be data caching to reduce hits on a database, most of what I'll be caching are POCOs or collections of POCOs.
Do I need to do anything special with this to achieve that, i.e. decorate them with [serializable]? I'm a little unfamiliar with this aspect.
Thanks.
***Edit***
I've just noticed that if you use the azure cloud services product, you can use the available memory of your web/worker role, not sure if the same is true of the websites product, can anyone confirm?
