I was wondering if i should be caching the objects returned from my DAL in some way? I may have multiple UI controls calling for the same data in a single load of the page.
What would you guys recommend? Am i begin a little to cautious? Its not a terrible amount of data. But if i should be caching in some way, what would be the recommended approach?
You could cache AND if you really have multiple controls on the same page using the same data you can call the data once in the parent page and pass a reference to it to each control with a Setter in each control (rather than have each control pull the same data from the DAL themselves), eg:
I also agree with @DanielHilgarth. Caching adds complexity (when to refresh the cache, for example). If the page loads quickly anyway, I wouldn’t bother.
If the page is slow, database calls in loops are often the culprit in my experience.
