For Azure Redis Cache, you need to use a Redis client library like StackExchange.Redis. The "Windows Azure Cache" client library is specific to the Azure Managed Cache.
After adding the StackExchange.Redis NuGet package to your project, connect to Redis using the ConnectionMultiplexer object:
var cm = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect("mycache.redis.cache.windows.net,ssl=true,password=<password>");
var db = connection.GetDatabase();
db.StringSet("key", "value");
var key = db.StringGet("key");
