Adding Tagged Data

To utilize the APIs, include the following namespace in your application: Alachisoft.NCache.Runtime.Caching.

The following tags are used in the succeeding examples:

  // Create a Tag array and specify tags.
  Tag[] productTags = new Tag[2];
  productTags[0] = new Tag("Product");
  productTags[1] = new Tag("Beverages");

Adding Items to Cache with Tags

In this example, Add operation overload is used to associate tags that were previously created.

  Product product = new Product();
  product.ProductID = 1001;
  product.ProductName = "Chai";

  string key = "Product:" + product.ProductID;
  try{
      cache.Add(key, product, productTags);
  }
  catch (OperationFailedException ex){
      // handle exception
  }

Tagging Data through CacheItem

In this example, tags are set by assigning them to the CacheItem.

  Product product = new Product();
  product.ProductID = 1001;
  product.ProductName = "Chai";

  string key = "Product:" + product.ProductID;

  CacheItem cacheItem = new CacheItem(product);
  cacheItem.Tags = productTags;
  try{
      cache.Add(key, cacheItem);
  }
  catch (OperationFailedException ex){
      // handle exception
  }
