I am developing a asp.net (2.0) application which uses data caching to save data until the user completes all the tasks. I am using the following commands:

        Cache.Insert("Allocations" + strCacheNo, dtAllocations, null, System.Web.Caching.Cache.NoAbsoluteExpiration, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(60), CacheItemPriority.High, null);
        Cache.Insert("Postings" + strCacheNo, dtPosting, null, System.Web.Caching.Cache.NoAbsoluteExpiration, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(60), CacheItemPriority.High, null);

dtAllocations and dtPostings are .net data tables.

On my development laptop this works fine, I can load the data, add to it and re cache it no problems.

When I loaded it on the test PC it doesn’t appear to cache at all. Any ideas on what my problem is?


Thanks

Could caching be disabled on the other machine?

Is "strCacheNo" a value specific to the user? If it isn't you need to change this logic a bit because you'll get users stepping on each other's toes. A better solution might be to use the session so you don't have to worry about managing the user context of the data.
