Creating a Page Output Cache File Dependency : File Dependency « Cache « ASP.NET Tutorial






You can create a dependency between a cached page and a file (or set of files) on your hard drive. 
When the file is modified, the cached page is automatically dropped and regenerated with the next page request.

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ OutputCache Duration="9999" VaryByParam="none" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<script runat="server">

    void Page_Load()
    {
        Response.AddFileDependency(MapPath("Data.xml"));
    }
</script>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
    <title>Output Cache File Dependency</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    <%= DateTime.Now.ToString("T") %>
    <hr />

    <asp:GridView
        id="grdProducts"
        DataSourceID="srcProducts"
        Runat="server" />

    <asp:XmlDataSource
        id="srcProducts"
        DataFile="Data.xml"
        Runat="server" />

    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>
