Examples

The following example creates a RemoveItemFromCache method. When this method is called, it uses the Item[String] property to check whether the cache contains an object that is associated with a Key1 key value. If it does, the Remove method is called to remove the object.

public void RemoveItemFromCache(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
    if(Cache["Key1"] != null)
      Cache.Remove("Key1");
}

Public Sub RemoveItemFromCache(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    If (Not IsNothing(Cache("Key1"))) Then
      Cache.Remove("Key1")
    End If
End Sub
