How to cache data in a MVC application

Question

I have read lots of information about page caching and partial page caching in a MVC application. However, I would like to know how you would cache data.

In my scena

Answer 1

I use two classes. First one the cache core object:

public class Cacher
    where TValue : class
{
    #region Properties
    private Func _init;
    public string Key { get; private set; }
    public TValue Value
    {
        get
        {
            var item = HttpRuntime.Cache.Get(Key) as TValue;
            if (item == null)
            {
                item = _init();
                HttpContext.Current.Cache.Insert(Key, item);
            }
            return item;
        }
    }
    #endregion

    #region Constructor
    public Cacher(string key, Func init)
    {
        Key = key;
        _init = init;
    }
    #endregion

    #region Methods
    public void Refresh()
    {
        HttpRuntime.Cache.Remove(Key);
    }
    #endregion
}

Second one is list of cache objects:

public static class Caches
{
    static Caches()
    {
        Languages = new Cacher>("Languages", () =>
                                                          {
                                                              using (var context = new WordsContext())
                                                              {
                                                                  return context.Languages.ToList();
                                                              }
                                                          });
    }
    public static Cacher> Languages { get; private set; }
}
