.NET Cross platform cache dependency

Question

What would one recommend as a cross platform cache dependency?

Our application may use multiple database platforms (e.g. MSSQL and MySQL) so this rules out Sql Cache Dependency.

I had thought about using a file cache dependency and just touching the file when my data changes. However, this is only really of any benefit if I can use the same file cache dependency with output caching in ASP.NET MVC (the OutputCache attribute only has an option for SqlDependency).

Many thanks, Ben

[Update] We aim to use the built in caching features of .NET (System.Runtime.Caching) not any external cache providers (AppFabric, Memcached etc.)

I was wondering if you found an answer for this. – shashi Dec 11 '11 at 14:23 — shashi, Dec 11 '11 at 14:23

One way is to use the caching functionality in Windows AppFabric. Comes with lots of behaviour for handling cache dependencies and invalidation.

thanks for the info. However, we do not intend to use an external cache provider. I've updated my question to this effect. – Ben Foster Dec 19 '10 at 15:44
