hi,

i am trying to use the cache, but when i want to add an object using the insert method, it returns object reference not set to an instance of an object, i can't figure it out yet why, if i am declaring my cache variable...

i am doing something like this:

Cache myCache = new Cache();

myCache.Insert("object", myObject);


what do you think is happening??

You don't need to create in instance of the Cache in your web applications. It's just there so you can use static methods like this:

Cache.Insert("object", myObject);

Hope this helps,

Imar

that's not working... the available methods without instantiate are: Equals, NoAbsoluteExpiration, NoSlidingExpiration and ReferenceEquals

i am doing this:

using System.Web.Caching;
...
...
...
Cache.Insert("myObject", myOtherObject);


and returns this error: An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property 'System.Web.Caching.Cache.Insert(string, object)'

In what kind of project are you using this code?

it's a web project by the way...

Could you provide more information? What kind of web project? Are you running this code in the Code Behind of a page? Or maybe in a code file in App_Code?

In the former case, my code should work. In the latter case, try this:

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache.Insert(...);

Hope this helps,
