One of the most sure-fire ways to improve a web application's performance is to employ caching. Caching takes some expensive operation and stores its results in a quickly accessible location. ASP.NET version 1.0 introduced two flavors of caching:

• Output Caching - caches the entire rendered markup of an ASP.NET web page or User Control for a specified duration.
• Data Caching - a programmatically-accessible, in-memory data cache for storing objects in the web server's memory.

For a more in-depth discussion on ASP.NET 1.x's caching capabilities, refer to Scott McFarland's Caching with ASP.NET and Steve Smith's ASP.NET Caching: Techniques and Best Practices articles.

In ASP.NET 2.0, the caching system has been extended to include SQL cache dependencies, cache profiles, and post-cache substitution for output cached pages. The Caching for Performance section of the ASP.NET 2.0 QuickStarts provides a good overview of ASP.NET 2.0's caching options. This article explores output caching in ASP.NET 2.0, starting with an overview of output caching and followed by a detailed look at creating pages that include both cached and non-cached markup using fragment caching and post-cache substitution techniques.
