using microsoft velocity / memcache from classic asp

Question

How to read data from cache saved in microsoft velocity from classic asp?

If above is not possible, then what if I use memcache instead? Then is it possible and worth it to read memcache from classic asp?

Answer 1

For memcached, I am looking in the following two examples below:

There is an enyim interop library that is available that looks like it will do the trick. The site below has decent documentation on how to get it working:

Or take a look at the following article which links to a library you might be able to use:

Answer 2

The AppFabric caching client libraries are .NET-only, you can't use them directly from ASP.

You might be able to get round this if you were to write a COM-visible object in .NET (a facade, effectively) that you could instantiate in your ASP pages that would talk to the AppFabric cache.
