How to Clear OutputCache for Website without Restarting App

Question

Is there a way clear or reset the outputcache for an entire website without a restart?

I'm just starting to use outputcache on a site and when I make a mistake in setting it up I need a page I can browse to that will reset it.

Answer 1

This should do the trick:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

 Dim path As String
 path="/AbosoluteVirtualPath/OutputCached.aspx"
 HttpResponse.RemoveOutputCacheItem(path)

End Sub

Answer 2

Add the following code to controller or to page code:

HttpContext.Cache.Insert("Page", 1);
Response.AddCacheItemDependency("Page");

To clear output cachne use the following command in controller:

    HttpContext.Cache.Remove("Page");
