Asp.NET Caching

I'd like to be able to switch caching on or off depending on a value set in web.config file. Say for instance if the value is 'true' then caching is enabled. Thank you

You need to add a key in your web.config. like,

<add key="AllowCaching" value="true"/>

then where ever you want to do caching you may do:

DataSet dataSet;
    if(bool.Parse(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AllowCaching"]))
    {
        //do caching
        if (Context.Cache["YourDataKey"] == null)
        {
            dataSet = GetDataForDataset();
            object objDataset = (object)dataSet;

            Context.Cache.Insert("YourDataKey", objDataset, null, DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(30),
                System.Web.Caching.Cache.NoSlidingExpiration);
        }
        else
        {
            dataSet = (DataSet)Context.Cache["YourDataKey"];
        }
    }
    else
    {
        //dont do caching
        dataSet = GetDataForDataset();
    }

where 30 is the number of seconds for which you want to hold data in cache.
