How to cache masterpage settings?

Question

Hi all,

I am using one master page.In that I am registering java scripts and checking some session conditions for every page.

I Don't want this one to be called for each and every page.It takes some time to execute the code.

Is there a way to avoid this repetitive execution?

Answer 1

You'll probably have to keep checking the session conditions - as they are per-user, there's no way to guarantee that any one request is coming from the same user without checking sessions/cookies.

As to the script stuff - could you make those declarative (in the mark-up) rather than in the code-behind?

A possible alternative is to look into "donut caching" where you cache most of the page, but leave those areas of the page that change on a "per user" basis out of the cache.
