I'm able to appropriately utilize the ASP.NET MVC4 OutputCache with the following code as an attribute on my Controller's Index():
[OutputCache(Duration = 600, VaryByParam = "none")]
However,
To manage differing caching scenario's, per the MSDN documentation we can cache (for example) our controllers Index() method using OutputCache. Following the documentation we end up with the following code:
in our Controller
//[OutputCache(Duration = 600, VaryByParam = "none")] //works without any modification to the Web.config
[OutputCache(CacheProfile = "Cache1Hour", VaryByParam = "none")]
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
and in our Web.config
<system.web>
<caching>
<outputCacheSettings>
<outputCacheProfiles>
<add name="Cache1Hour" duration="3600"/>
</outputCacheProfiles>
</outputCacheSettings>
</caching>
...
...
...
</system.web>
Question/Problem: evidently I'm missing something as I continually throw the following exception:
Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: The 'Cache1Hour' cache profile is not defined. Please define it in the configuration file.
full exception:
