See Also: |
Sets/retrieves the time (in milliseconds) an item must be unused before it is flushed from the cache.
VBScript:
JScript:
| Cache | An ASPCache object. |
| timeout | The threshold timeout (in milliseconds) for
determining if an item should be removed by a flush operation. When
an item lies unused for this period, it may be removed from the
cache. Setting a timeout of 0 disables flushing. |
Flush timeout periods should be chosen carefully to balance the usefulness of the cache
with resource consumption. Too long of a timeout may enable the cache to grow too large
(this can be limited by the MaxSize property). Too short
of a timeout may reduce the number of cache hits, and thus reduce the effectiveness of the cache.
Other properties related to flushing are FlushEnabled and FlushInterval. For more information on
flushing, see Flushing.
Flushing is one technique to limit the resource consumption of the cache. Other available techniques are shrinking and expiration.
