Substitution Web Server Control last day i heard abt this :( ( 'm also a programmer)while i referring abt asp cache it know abt this controller pretty good too.Its from .net 2.0 too latest
Use the Substitution control to specify a section of an output-cached Web page where you want to display dynamic content. The Substitution control offers a simplified solution to partial page caching for pages where the majority of the content is cached. You can output-cache the entire page, and then use Substitution controls to specify the parts of the page that are exempt from caching. Cached regions execute only once and are read from the cache until the cache entry expires or is purged. Dynamic regions execute every time that the page is requested. This caching model simplifies the code for pages that are primarily static, because you do not have to encapsulate the sections to cache in Web user controls. For example, this caching model is useful in a scenario where you have a page that contains static content, such as news stories, and an AdRotator control that displays advertisements. The news stories do not change frequently, which means that they can be cached. However, every time that a user requests the page, you want to display a new advertisement. The AdRotator control directly supports post-cache substitution and renders a new advertisement every time that the page posts back, regardless of whether the page is cached.
When an ASP.NET page is cached, by default the entire output of the page is cached. On the first request, the page runs and caches its output. On subsequent requests, the request is fulfilled from the cache and code on the page does not run.
In some circumstances, you might want to cache an ASP.NET page but update selected portions of the page on every request. For example, you might want to cache the majority of a page but be able to dynamically update time-sensitive information on the page.
You can use the Substitution control to insert dynamic content into the cached page. The Substitution control does not render any markup. Instead, you bind the control to a method on the page or on a parent user control. You create a static method that returns the information that you want to insert into the page. The method called by the Substitution control must meet the following criteria:
It must be a static method (shared in Visual Basic).
It must accept a parameter of type HttpContext.
It must return a value of type String.
Other controls on the page are not accessible to the Substitution control—that is, you cannot examine or change the value of other controls. However, the code does have access to the current page context by using the parameter passed to it.
When the page runs, the Substitution control calls the method and then substitutes the return value from the method for the Substitution control on the page.
