More caching goodness down the road
Rob Howard checks in ahead of his BillG review on caching tomorrow. It was interesting/tantalizing to me that a.) caching is going to get even better beyond what's already available in System.Web.Caching and b.) that the caching strategy is being pursued beyond just the ASP.NET team. The latter part makes total sense to me given that caching as it exists now is easily useful in contexts that don't necessarily involve ASP.NET. And the former is great news as caching today is great, imo, but more of a good thing is always welcomed.
I'd be a tad bit surprised not to see some sort of support for database dependency support in Whitbey, particularly if it lines up with Yukon as has been written, but who knows. You can do it via xp's presently, the mechanics aren't that bad--the logic for doing so seems to slip away when you are consuming objects and not database entities, or so I keep concluding.
