HttpRuntime.Cache.Remove doesn't remove cache

I am trying to remove the cache using the HttpRuntime.Cache.Remove(key) but invain. I wonder what are the best practices for using HttpRuntime.Cache.

Regards

I once spent a fun-filled hour tracking down something that looked very similar: I removed something from cache only to find it back in there again. Turned out to be a remove-trigger that put it back each time. Look for side effects like that.

The Remove method works perfectly fine and removes the item from the cache given its key. Here's an example:

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // add an item to the cache
        HttpRuntime.Cache["foo"] = "bar";
        Console.WriteLine(HttpRuntime.Cache["foo"]); // prints bar

        // remove the item from the cache
        HttpRuntime.Cache.Remove("foo");
        Console.WriteLine(HttpRuntime.Cache["foo"]); // prints empty string
    }
}

It's probably the way you are using it that is wrong. Unfortunately this hasn't been specified in your question so that's as far as we can help.
