Hey Anders.

From the source code, it seems that the MemoryCache class doesn't implement a way to override the setting which is hardcoded in the class CacheItemPolicy static prop DefaultStoragePolicy.

I hope this clearifies your options :)

Best regards, Theodor

Hi Theodor,

Thanks for the reply, that was the same conclusion from my side, but hopefully I am missing something obvious about how to implement a difference policy.

Best regards, Anders

You can override default expiration - for all memory caches.

CacheItemPolicy.DefaultStoragePolicy.SlidingExpiration = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30);

(please don't)

We can add an option to overrule the default of specific instances to using e.g. SetExpiration().

But please do not set it to something crazy - TimeSpan.FromMinutes(300000)

It will happen and server will cry and die.... :-)

Dear Nicolai,

Yes, thank you, that will be very nice to be able to override the Expiration or maybe even better; to override the policy itself?

Best regards, Anders

Very nice, Nicolai! Thank you so much! :-)
