Controlling HTTP Caching
Is HttpResponse.Cache the preferred way to control caching? HttpResponse is only available in ASP.NET compatibility mode.
No, you don't need ASP.NET compatibility mode to set cache headers. In fact, almost everything from HttpResponse can be done by attaching an HttpResponseMessageProperty to the outbound message. The largest difference is that HttpResponseMessageProperty makes you use a collection of headers rather than having an individual property for each header.
