HowTo - RedisCacheService Support

By default CacheServiceHelper.Current singleton uses LocalMemoryCacheService implementation.

This HowTo explains how to use a Redis implementation (at server-side through configuration file) instead of LocalMemoryCacheService one.

Redis is a data structure server. It is open-source, networked, in-memory, and stores keys with optional durability. According to the monthly ranking by DB-Engines.com, Redis is the most popular key-value database. The name Redis means REmote DIctionary Server -- Wikipedia

This documentation is based on StackExchange.Redis.Extensions.

1. Externals.RedisCache Library

First add a new Class Library project to the solution (choose the name you wish)

Then add a reference to the System.Extensions project

2. NuGet Packages

Open Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console and select the project

Install Redis 64bits (currently v2.8.19)

PM> Install-Package Redis-64

Install the StackExchange.Redis.Extensions package (all required dependencies will be installed too)

PM> Install-Package StackExchange.Redis.Extensions.Newtonsoft

Unable To Read Package

If the following error occurs

Install-Package : Unable to read package from path 'Newtonsoft.Json.7.0.1\Newtonsoft.Json.7.0.1.nupkg'.

1. Move the Src\packages\Newtonsoft.Json.7.0.1 directory outside the packages folder (Desktop for example)
2. Execute Install-Package StackExchange.Redis.Extensions.Newtonsoft again
3. If the versions are different move back Newtonsoft.Json.7.0.1 directory

Result

3. Implementation

Add the new CacheService class in the project

4. Web.config (server-side)

Edit the Web.config file (of the WebServices project and/or possible ASP.NET WebSite depending on your needs)

1. Add the 2 missing sections
2. Change the implementation attribute with the new value Externals.RedisCache.CacheService, Externals.RedisCache

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
	
  <configSections>
    ...
    <!-- add this -->
    <section
      name="redisCacheClient"
      type="StackExchange.Redis.Extensions.Core.Configuration.RedisCachingSectionHandler, StackExchange.Redis.Extensions.Core" />
  </configSections>

  <serviceLocatorConfiguration>
    <instances>
      ...
      <!-- edit this -->
      <instance
        interface="System.ICacheService, System.Extensions"
        implementation="Externals.RedisCache.CacheService, Externals.RedisCache"
        instancingMode="Singleton"/>
      </instances>
  </serviceLocatorConfiguration>
	
  <!-- add this -->
  <redisCacheClient allowAdmin="true" ssl="false" connectTimeout="5000" database="0">
    <hosts>
      <add host="127.0.0.1" cachePort="6379"/>
    </hosts>
  </redisCacheClient>
	
</configuration>
