Items can be retrieved from cache either by using Get method or the cache indexer. Both methods are explained below with examples.

Include the following namespace in your project:

 

using Alachisoft.NCache.Web.Caching;

 

Using Get Method

 

Here is how items can be retrieved fom the cache.

 

Cache _cache = NCache.Caches["myCache"];

// Returns null if item not found

object myObject = _cache.Get("Customer:David:1001");

if (myObject == null)

{

// Item not found

}

 

Using Cache["key"]

 

Here is another way to retrieve items from the cache.

 

Cache _cache = NCache.Caches["myCache"];

// Returns null if item not found

object myObject = _cache["Customer:David:1001"];

if (myObject == null)

{

// Item not found

}

 

Using Contains Method

 

You can also check whether an item exists in the cache or not.

 

Cache _cache = NCache.Caches["myCache"];

// Returns true or false

if (_cache.Contains("Customer:David:1001") == false)

{

// Item found

}
