How do I clear MemoryCache in C#?

How do I clear MemoryCache in C#?

You can clear the MemoryCache in C# by using the MemoryCache.Remove method to remove specific items or by creating a new instance of MemoryCache.

Can you show me an example of removing a specific item?

Sure! Here's an example: memoryCache.Remove("yourCacheKey"); This will remove the item associated with "yourCacheKey".

What if I want to clear all items in the cache?

To clear all items, you would typically create a new instance of MemoryCache, as there isn't a built-in method to clear all items directly.

Is there a way to set expiration for cache items?

Yes, you can set expiration by using MemoryCacheEntryOptions when adding items, like this: cache.Set("key", value, new MemoryCacheEntryOptions { AbsoluteExpiration = DateTimeOffset.Now.AddMinutes(5) });.
