How can I use MemoryCache in ASP.NET MVC?

You can use MemoryCache to store data in memory for quick access. First, add the necessary using directive: using System.Runtime.Caching;. Then, you can create an instance of MemoryCache and use it to store and retrieve data.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

MemoryCache memoryCache = MemoryCache.Default;

// Storing data
string cacheKey = "myData";
string data = "Hello, World!";
memoryCache.Set(cacheKey, data, DateTimeOffset.Now.AddMinutes(10));

// Retrieving data
string cachedData = memoryCache.Get(cacheKey) as string;

What are the benefits of using MemoryCache?

The benefits include improved performance by reducing database calls, faster data retrieval, and reduced load on your server.

Are there any limitations I should be aware of?

Yes, MemoryCache is limited by the available memory of your application. If the cache grows too large, older items may be evicted to make room for new ones.
