Cached Lists of Data

If you have lots of lists of data that are frequently referenced throughout your application and rarely change EG Langauages, Countries, Cities etc. it can be a good idea to add/retrieve them from the Cache.

Try:

HttpRuntime.Cache[key] = ArrayList{"Country1", ..., "CountryN"};

Not sure if thats how you instaniate an ArrayList (probably isn't) but you get the idea...(i hope)

Then retrieve like:

dropDownListData = (ArrayList)HttpRuntime.Cache[key];
