Instructs the BasePartialCachingControl control that wraps the user control to set the user control's cache entry to use sliding or absolute expiration.

public:
 void SetSlidingExpiration(bool useSlidingExpiration);

public void SetSlidingExpiration (bool useSlidingExpiration);

member this.SetSlidingExpiration : bool -> unit

Public Sub SetSlidingExpiration (useSlidingExpiration As Boolean)

Parameters

useSlidingExpiration: Boolean

true to use sliding cache expiration instead of absolute expiration; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

HttpException

The user control is not associated with a BasePartialCachingControl and is not cacheable.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how a user control can be loaded dynamically and manipulated programmatically at run time. A user control named SimpleControl is decorated with a PartialCachingAttribute attribute, which means it is wrapped by a PartialCachingControl control at run time. The SimpleControl object's caching settings can be programmatically manipulated through its associated ControlCachePolicy object, which is available through a reference to the PartialCachingControl control that wraps it. In this example, caching settings are examined during page initialization and changed if some conditions are met. This example is part of a larger example provided for the ControlCachePolicy class.

Remarks

Use the SetExpires and SetSlidingExpiration methods (passing true) to instruct the BasePartialCachingControl control that wraps the user control to use a sliding expiration caching policy instead of an absolute expiration policy. Use the SetExpires method and the SetSlidingExpiration method (passing false) to specify an absolute expiration policy.
