Properties
The following table lists the properties exposed by the CachingSection class.
Name |
Description |
---|---|
Enabled |
A read/write boolean value. true if the output cache is enabled; otherwise, false. If the output cache is disabled, no response output caching or kernel caching will occur. The default is true. |
EnableKernelCache |
A read/write boolean value. true if kernel caching is enabled; otherwise, false. The default is true. |
Location |
(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) A key property. |
MaxCacheSize |
A read/write uint32 value that specifies the maximum size, in megabytes, of the output cache. The default is 0. A value of 0 means that the cache memory size is managed automatically. A size of MaxValue means that there is no limit on cache size. ![]()
This setting is effective only at the level of the ApplicationHost.config file. If you set this property at a lower level, it will have no effect.
|
MaxResponseSize |
A read/write uint32 value that specifies the maximum size, in bytes, of a response that can be stored in the output cache. The default is 262144 (256KB). A setting of 0 means no limit. ![]()
This setting is effective only at the level of the ApplicationHost.config file. If you set this property at a lower level, it will have no effect.
|
Path |
(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) A key property. |
Profiles |
A CachingProfileSettings value that configures caching for specific request extensions. |
SectionInformation |
(Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) |
Subclasses
This class contains no subclasses.
Example
The following example displays properties in the CachingSection object for the default Web site, including the CachingProfileSettings values in the Profiles array property. Two helper functions are provided to display text for the Policy, KernelCachePolicy, and Location enumerations.
' Connect to the WMI WebAdministration namespace.
Set oWebAdmin = GetObject("winmgmts:root\WebAdministration")
' Get the CachingSection for the default Web site.
Set oSite = oWebAdmin.Get("Site.Name='Default Web Site'")
oSite.GetSection "CachingSection", oSection
' Display the path and location.
Wscript.Echo "Path: " & oSection.Path
Wscript.Echo "Location: " & oSection.Location
Wscript.Echo
' Display other non-array CachingSection properties.
WScript.Echo "Enabled: " & oSection.Enabled
Wscript.Echo "EnableKernelCache: " & oSection.EnableKernelCache
Wscript.Echo "MaxCacheSize: " & oSection.MaxCacheSize
Wscript.Echo "MaxResponseSize: " & oSection.MaxResponseSize
Wscript.Echo
' Display the caching profiles from the Profiles property.
For Each oCachingProfileElement In oSection.Profiles.Profiles
Wscript.Echo
WScript.Echo "[ " & oCachingProfileElement.Extension & _
" ] Caching Profile"
WScript.Echo "-----------------------------------"
WScript.Echo "Duration: " & oCachingProfileElement.Duration
WScript.Echo "KernelCachePolicy: " & _
CachePolicyText(oCachingProfileElement.KernelCachePolicy)
WScript.Echo "Location: " & _
LocationText(oCachingProfileElement.Location)
WScript.Echo "Policy: " & _
CachePolicyText(oCachingProfileElement.Policy)
WScript.Echo "VaryByHeaders: " & _
oCachingProfileElement.VaryByHeaders
WScript.Echo "VaryByQueryString: " & _
oCachingProfileElement.VaryByQueryString
WScript.Echo
Next
' Provide text for KernelCachePolicy and Policy enumeration values.
Function CachePolicyText(enumval)

CachePolicyText="DontCache"
Case 1
CachePolicyText="CacheUntilChange"
Case 2
CachePolicyText="CacheForTimePeriod"
Case Else

End Select
End Function
' Provide text for Location enumeration values.
Function LocationText(enumval)

Case 1
LocationText="Client"
Case 2
