How to tell MVC not to cache an aspx or ascx?

Question

In webforms I would do something like this in the OnInit method, but where (and how) could I do the same type of thing using MVC?

Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache)

Answer 1

You can do the exact same thing in MVC too in the controller action (by writing the same line of code) or adding an attribute (which is preferred):

[OutputCache(Location=System.Web.UI.OutputCacheLocation.None)]
public ActionResult Index() {
   // ...
}

Answer 2

Do you mean a non-MVC page in an MVC application, then the same way. If you mean a particular action corresponding to a view, then use the OutputCacheAttribute on the action or controller with Location = OutputCacheLocation.None.
