Async Operations

NCache now offers Asynchronous cache operations, so that maximum performance can be achieved. Following are the simple coding examples implementing Async operations:

Include the following namespace in your application.

using Alachisoft.NCache.Web.Caching;
Create a new Class named 'Customer' in your already created Test Application.
Insert the following code in the 'Customer' class.

[Serializable]

class Customer

{

...

}
Now insert the following code in the 'Main' of the project:

Cache _cache = NCache.InitializeCache("mycache");

_cache.Clear();

Customer customer = new Customer ();

customer.name = "David" ;

customer.customerID = 1001;

customer.City = "London" ;

customer.ContactNumber = "+44-xxx-xxxx-xxxx" ;

customer.IsOrderInProcess = true ;

For Adding item in a cache asynchronously

// Add Item to Cache asynchronously

_cache.AddAsync("Customer:David:1001" , new CacheItem (customer), DSWriteOption.None, null);

Thread.Sleep(1000);

Object objectCustomer = _cache.Get("Customer:David:1001");

Customer customerInformation = (Customer)objectCustomer;

Console.WriteLine("Customer ID: " + customerInformation.customerID);

Console.WriteLine("Name: " + customerInformation.name);

Console.WriteLine("City: " + customerInformation.City);

Console.WriteLine("Contact Number: " + customerInformation.ContactNumber);

Console.WriteLine("Order placed: " + customerInformation.IsOrderInProcess);

For Updating item in a cache asynchronously

// Add Item to Cache asynchronously

_cache.InsertAsync("Customer:David:1001", new CacheItem(customer), DSWriteOption.None, null);

Thread.Sleep(1000);

Object objectCustomer = _cache.Get("Customer:David:1001");

Customer customerInformation = (Customer)objectCustomer;

Console .WriteLine("Customer ID: " + customerInformation.customerID);

Console .WriteLine("Name: " + customerInformation.name);

Console .WriteLine("City: " + customerInformation.City);

Console .WriteLine("Contact Number: " + customerInformation.ContactNumber);

Console .WriteLine("Order placed: " + customerInformation.IsOrderInProcess);

For Removing item from a cache asynchronously

// Remove Item from Cache asynchronously

_cache.RemoveAsync("Customer:David:1001", null, DSWriteOption.None, null);

For Clearing cache asynchronously

// Clears Cache asynchronously

_cache.ClearAsync(DSWriteOption.None, null, null);
Start the Local Cache 'myCache'.
Run the project.
