How can I implement caching in an MVC application?

You can implement caching in an MVC application using various techniques like Output Caching, Data Caching, and Distributed Caching. Which one are you interested in?

What's the difference between Output Caching and Data Caching?

Output Caching stores the rendered HTML of a view, while Data Caching stores data objects. Output Caching is useful for static content, whereas Data Caching is better for dynamic data.

Can you give me an example of how to set up Output Caching?

Sure! You can use the [OutputCache] attribute in your controller action. For example: [OutputCache(Duration=60)] public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } This caches the output for 60 seconds.

What about Distributed Caching? When should I use it?

Distributed Caching is useful when you have multiple servers and want to share cache data across them. It's great for load balancing and improving performance in a web farm.
