I am looking for an efficient cache strategy for C#. I am constructing an MVC application however one of my queries targets a historical table with states, etc. Needless to say, the query is highly nested and complex, and I do not want to run it every time a person hits the site, so I decided to cache the data (either the results or the tables themselves). I dont want to store my cache in the Managed heap due to the stop-the-world garbage collection problem which is common with generational GC’s and Caches. I was wondering, does the Cache Application Block (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff650180.aspx) use Unmanaged memory (off the managed heap?). Is there a way to access memory directly via native IO? Any other cache tools worth looking into?

    I highly suggest you look at AppFabric Caching. I just implemented for my MVC app and it worked great.

    I used this blog to get started:

    Let me know if you need some code samples.
