Disable OutputCache on Development System

I use OutputCache in an ASP.net 开发者_Python百科MVC application. As developing with an active OutputCache is not very pleasant I want to disable the OutputCache on the Development Systems (local machines and development server).

What is the best way to do this?

It's an old one but...

set this in your web.config under system.web

<caching>
  <outputCache enableOutputCache="false" />
</caching>

The outputcache in ASP.NET can be enabled and disabled using

For iis versions < 7.0

<system.web>
    <caching>
        <outputCache enableOutputCache="false" />
    </caching>
</system.web>

For iis versions >= 7.0

<system.webServer>
    <caching enabled="false" />
</system.webServer>

N.B. I usually use both, better safe than having a sore foot, and use a config transform to make sure that the caching is enabled for different configurations on publish. In my solution a configuration corresponds 1 on 1 with an environment

Another technique is to use pragmas to enable pieces of code to compile or not compile based on i.e. the DEBUG conditional compilation symbol:

#if DEBUG
    [OutputCache]
#endif
