Is DataCache.Increment available with WindowsAzure shared caching?

Question

I'm trying to use WindowsAzure shared cache and the Increment operator of the DataCache class documented here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/jj160018.aspx.

The Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Client.dll I'm using came from the 1.7 nuget package for caching http://nuget.org/packages/WindowsAzure.Caching but I cannot find the increment method in that assembly.

Is the Increment method available in Azure and if it is what dll should I reference to access it?

Answer 1

I just tested it and found this function is added into Windows Azure Cache (Preview) - with Dedicated or co-located. So if you decided to use Windows Azure Cache Preview with your Web or Worker Role either in dedicated or co-located mode, you sure can use this functionality. If you want to know the difference between Windows Azure Shared Cache and Windows Azure Caching (Preview) please take a look at my blog: Difference between Windows Azure Cache(Preview) and Windows Azure Shared Cache

This function is not available with WindowsAzure shared cache.
