Parameters

cacheId
Type: System..::..String
The identifier for the Cache item to initialize.
server
Type: System..::..String
The identifier for the server where the cache is running.
port
Type: System..::..Int32
The port at which the server accepts the remote client connections.
balanceNodes
Type: System..::..Boolean
True to select the least loaded server, false to connect to the given server anyway
multiPartitionConnection
Type: System..::..Boolean

Remarks

The cacheId parameter represents the registration/config id of the cache. Depending upon the configuration the Cache object is created inproc or outproc.

As this overload does not take SecurityParams, internally it tries to load this information from "client.ncconf" file. For more details see NCache Help Collection.

Calling this method twice with the same cacheId increments the reference count of the cache. The number of InitializeCache(String) calls must be balanced by a corresponding same number of Dispose()()()() calls.

Multiple cache instances can be inititalized within the same application domain. If multiple cache instances are initialized, Cache refers to the first instance of the cache.

Note: When starting a Cache as outproc, this method attempts to start NCache service on the local machine if it is not already running. However it does not start the cache automatically.

Examples

This sample shows how to use the InitializeCache(String) method inside a sample Web application.
CopyC#
public override void Init()
{
    // A cache with id 'myCache' is already registered.
    try
    {
        Alachisoft.NCache.Web.Caching.Cache theCache = NCache.InitializeCache("myCache", "server-name","9900"));
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        // Cache is not available.
    }
}

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
System..::..ArgumentNullExceptioncacheId is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
