What is Caching in ASP.Net ?

Overview of Caching:
  Caching is one of the most interesting concepts and operations in ASP.NET. If you can handle it, you can run any web application by applying the caching concept depending on the requirements.
  Caching is a technique of storing frequently used data/information in memory, so that, when the same data/information is needed next time, it could be directly retrieved from the memory instead of being generated by the application.
  One of the really cool features of ASP.NET is the caching. With other technologies, caching usually requires some extra software or at least complicated code, but with ASP.NET 2.0, it's easier than ever before. You can use two different kinds of caching - output caching and standard caching. The first one is the easiest, so let's start with that.

What a Cache does:
"A cache simply stores the output generated by a page in the memory and this saved output (cache) will serve us (users) in the future." That's it.

Types of caching:
  •        Output Caching
  •          Data Caching
  •          Object Caching
  •       Class Caching 
  •       Configuration Caching
