Centralizing OutputCache values in ASP.Net?

Question

Hi,

We're starting to apply output caching to many of our pages as we start load testing our app. I'm wondering if there is a way to centralize the values we are using, say in the web.config, as we have many pages on which we'll be experimenting with different values.

In general, I just like the idea of being able to change the values in one location... does anyone know if this is possible?

Something like <%@ OutputCache Duration="ValueFromWebConfig" VaryByParam="none" %>

I'm guessing maybe not as the value needs to be a compile time constant, but I just wanted to check with you gurus before I gave up :)

Thanks a bunch.

Evan
