Introduction

ASPCache™ is a high-performance, thread-safe, collection component designed to make it easy to cache information in Active Server Pages.  ASPCache supports data caching and output caching.  Output caching with ASPCache is also referred to as page fragment caching.

For the latest news on ASPCache, see http://www.webgecko.com/products/aspcache/

As a collection component, ASPCache performs 20+ times faster than the ASP Application object.  ASPCache supports: Adding, updating, retrieving, and removing cached items; flushing of items that have not been used in a while; expiration of items after they have lived in the cache for a period of time; and page fragment caching. 

Page fragment caching is designed for use with Active Page Generator™ (APGen™), where APGen is used to generate page fragments, and ASPCache is used to cache page fragments and write them to the ASP HTTP stream.  APGen is not required to use ASPCache - ASPCache can be used on its own for caching data in ASP.  However, we recommend using APGen to generate static pages and static page fragments.  Prudent use of APGen and ASPCache will give you the best possible web site performance.

For additional information on Page Fragment Caching and Two-Phase Content Generation, see the APGen Documentation.
