Q: 

asp.net webcontrol caching

I'm writing a webcontrol in asp.net which has to go and fetch information from an API. It's not critical to be up-to-date, and retrieving the information is quite slow, so I'd rather cache the information and update it every 5 minutes.

It strikes me as potentially risky to use the Context.Cache as potentially someone could use the same name, but I can't find another way to do caching within a control.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

(using asp.net 2.0).
