Programmers' Guide

This section provides a practical guide for programmers who want to use various features of NCache in .NET to develop high performance and scalable applications. It provides four different sets of features for programming with NCache. In order to use NCache API in .NET applications, following things are required to be done:

• For .NET applications, you must add reference to the Alachisoft.NCache.Web.Caching.dll in your application. This assembly contains all the APIs which are required to connect to the server and use cache. This assembly is copied into the install directory of NCache, by default it is in [InstallDir]/bin/assembly/.

• Client API also requires the server list generated from NCache Manager. For this purpose, client configuration file must be placed in NCache install directory. The Client Configuration file is updated whenever you apply configurations to the cache. Information for compact data types is also generated as part of config.ncconf, if the cache is registered with any Compact Serializable data type.
