Caching a .txt file on page load
I am a beginner and trying to work out how to cache a .txt file with a list of words so that the file can be searched and displayed, i understand that its better from a performance point of view and data handling to pre-cache this, but is it better to do this on a certain page load if there are multiple pages or at the start of the application. also I'm having trouble working out the proper way to cache a .txt file so that the list of words from the .txt can be search when needed. But with a .txt file the process has me stumped am i setting this up wrong or is my coding just poor here is the code i running for the .txt caching.
Code:
@{
var listOfWords = Request.Form["listOfWords"];
var greeting = "Welcome";
var weekDay = DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek;
var greetingMessage = greeting + " Here in Birmingham it's " + weekDay;
var listmessage = "";
WordList words;
if (WebCache.Get("words") == null)
{
words = new WordList(Server.MapPath("wordlist.txt"));
WebCache.Set("words", words);
}
else
{
words = WebCache.Get("words");
}
if (IsPost)
{
var list = Request["text"];
listmessage = "Results List";
}
if (IsPost)
{
if (listOfWords.IsEmpty())
{
ModelState.AddError("listOfWords", "Please enter a word");
}
}
StreamReader file = new StreamReader(Server.MapPath("wordlist.txt"));
{
}
}
@{
var dataFile = Server.MapPath("Resources/wordlist.txt");
Array ShowFile = File.ReadAllLines(dataFile);
}
