Hey Scott,

ples/cache/datacache2.src





I was just running this example in the .net quick start examples.. and

noticed something that got me curious...



When you insert a new record, at the bottom of the page you get a message

stating the data was accessed from the cache or if it was read explicitly

from the xml file..



So after inserting some data, sometimes the message showed the data was got

from the cache, while other times it said that the data was received

explicitly. Why is it different at different times?



(1) Can you tell us exactly what happens behind the scenes? If possible, I

want the gory internal details.... :)



(2) How would it be possible to get the data explicitly all the time when an

update is done in the xml file?





On a separate note, I downloaded the above code and ran it on my machine.

Same situation. Then I changed the code a bit to try and see what was going

on. Before the "LoadData()" function, I tried to do a "wait" and see if the

cache took sometime to expire. Without realizing it, the code I entered in

was wrong in its syntax.... BUT when I ran the aspx program from my browser,

the code ran without any errors(no browser cache, and data was getting

inserted!)... only after a few minutes of trying again and again, did it

give me an error. This tells me that the .net runtime, or whatever component

thats responsible to detect a change in the code(would like to know what it

is), did not catch the change! So in essence, the aspx was not recompiled

immediately..



(3) Can you tell us why the above took place and how to fix it?





Thanks.

Girish



PS I still havent figured out how to do the wait or sleep on the thread..

can you shed some light here?
