Question

My website has a small menu in the upper right hand corner that says the user’s First Name and Last Name. I put this piece into a partial view. Since this displays on every page, I obviously think to cache it so I don’t have to get the user’s information everytime a page loads. Should I store this in cache or session data and also where should i create my code to cache this data if its in every page?

Answer 1

As per scenarion, you should definitely use cache. and as you said, you already have menu as partial view

    [OutputCache(Duration = 3600)]
    public ActionResult mymenu()
    {
        return PartialView();
    }
