Client Side API Programming

This tutorial is a practical guide for programmers who want to utilize powerful features of Client side NCache to create high performance and scalable .NET applications. This includes working examples and code snippets to utilize various features of NCache efficiently.

In This Section

Handling Failures in Cache
Describes the common system/network operation failures that may occur in cache, and the recommended actions to perform for each failure.

Data in NCache
Explains the enhanced key-value structure of NCache and the supported cache keys and data types.

Connecting to Cache
Explains how applications can connected to local/clustered/client cache(s).

Basic Cache Operations
Explains how to perform basic CRUD operations on cache using sync, bulk, async calls.

Using Groups
Presents distributing related objects in 'logical' groups.

Using Tags
Explains how Tags work.

Using Named Tags
Explains how Named Tags work.

Data Expiration
Describes how certain cached items can be automatically removed from the cache when required.

Cache Dependencies
Explains how to implement dependency of cached items on files, database table rows and other cached items.

Locking Data in NCache
Describes how to lock cached items to prevent multiple clients from updating the same data simultaneously.

SQL Reference for NCache
Explains API for querying objects from the cache using SQL and extended syntax.

Cache Events
Explains utilizing notifications that arise as a result of add, insert or remove operations against all or selective cache items, or when cluster status changes.

Publish/Subscribe (Pub/Sub) in NCache
Explains the concept behind NCache Publish/Subscribe paradigm for messages and topics and provides code samples to use it.

Continuous Query
Explains how events can be triggered for specific queried result set in the cache using Continuous Query.

Using Streams in NCache
NCache provides you the facility of using streams. NCache binary data can be read or written from/to the cache using streams.

Security and Encryption
Explains different levels of cache security provided by NCache.

Data Compression
Explains the data compression feature provided by NCache to minimize the data traffic between cluster and client nodes and efficiently using the memory.

NCache Management API
Explains how to use the API provided by NCache to perform the basic cache management operations without using either NCache Manager or NCache tools.

Error Logging
Explains how to enable client logging for client application.
