Answer 1

While the OP specified v3.5, the question was asked before v4 was released. To help anyone who finds this question and can live with a v4 dependency, the framework team created a new general purpose cache for this type of scenario. It's in the System.Runtime.Caching namespace: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd997357%28v=VS.100%29.aspx

The static reference to the default cache instance is: MemoryCache.Default
