Properties

Name	Description
AbsoluteExpiration	Gets or sets the total duration, in minutes, during which the result of the current method is stored in cache. The absolute expiration time is counted from the moment the method is evaluated and cached.
AutoReload	Determines whether the method calls are automatically reloaded (by re-evaluating the target method with the same arguments) when the cache item is removed from the cache.
IgnoreThisParameter	Determines whether the `this` instance should be a part of the cache key. The default value of this property is `false`, which means that by default the `this` instance is a part of the cache key.
Priority	Gets or sets the priority of the current method.
ProfileName	Gets or sets the name of the CachingProfile that contains the configuration of the current CacheAttribute.
SlidingExpiration	Gets or sets the duration, in minutes, during which the result of the current method is stored in cache after it has been added to or accessed from the cache. The expiration is extended every time the value is accessed from the cache.
