Data Caching in .NET

Question

I've been looking at the spring.net approach to caching (using aop), since my project already has a dependency upon spring.

However, I was surprised to find that you can only configure the caching rules declaratively as attributes. You dont seem to be able to configure the caching in a seperation configuration file..

Is anybody aware of a caching framework for .net that allows thr caching rules to be declared within a configuration file?

Answer 1

I've started looking at creating a postprocessor and Namespace parser to handle the configuration of the cache...

Answer 2

Microsoft's Enterprise Library has a great Caching Block and, yes, you can declare the caching framework declaratively through configuration.
