I have a question regarding Caching. I have a typical n-tier ASP.NET web app. I have made a custom Cache wrapper (wrapping ASP.NET Cache object), and I would like to know the best practices of Caching data. I don’t want to use caching in my business layer (don’t want to add any reference to System.Web dll there). Same case with DAL. So the only options left are:

  1. Cache everything in the UI layer
  2. Create a cache layer between UI and BL (dont know how feasible is that?)

I also heard about the upcoming Velocity caching framework but I guess that might be an overkill (as my app wont need a web farm/cluster).

I may be terribly wrong in my approaches, so I would welcome any suggestions or alternative approaches on how to effiecintly cache data in my web projects.

    The layer between your UI and BLL would be a Services layer, which is a good place for caching. Use an abstracted cache manager (example on my blog) so you can swap out providers (ASP.NET cache, Velocity, memcached, whatever) when needed.
