CacheManager.AppUrl Property (PIA)

Article
11/12/2009

The AppUrl property is a read/write String that contains the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the application.

Definition

[Visual Basic .NET]

Imports Microsoft.CommerceServer.Interop.Caching
…
Public Property AppUrl As String

[C#]

using Microsoft.CommerceServer.Interop.Caching;
…
public string AppUrl {get; set;}

Property Value

A string that contains the full URL of the application.

Exceptions

This property may throw one of many mapped exceptions or an exception of type COMException. See Standard COM Errors for additional details.

Remarks

The default value for this property is the URL of the current Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 application. Depending on the URL used to access the IIS application the first time after it is started, this URL could contain the special host name "localhost," preventing it from being accessed externally. Therefore, it is best to explicitly set this property to the full URL of the IIS application.

Unlike the other properties of the CacheManager object that are set on a per-cache basis, the AppUrl property is a global property. The AppUrl property is generally used to register all of the caches running in a Web server farm so that they can be managed without requiring explicit registration by an administrator. The Publish Campaign module in Commerce Server Business Desk is an example of this.

If the cache object is a Dictionary object, then the value of this property is passed to the CacheLoader and CacheWriter objects during each cache refresh. It will be put in the _AppUrl key in the Dictionary object.
