ASP.NET MVC 2 VirtualPathProvider GetFile every time for every request

Question

I have implemented a VirtualPathProvider. The VirtualPathProvider reads the view from File system.

However my problem is the method GetFile(string virtualPath)

Answer 1

public class MyVirtualPathProvider : VirtualPathProvider
{

    public override CacheDependency GetCacheDependency(string virtualPath, IEnumerable virtualPathDependencies, DateTime utcStart)
    {
        return null;

    }

    public override String GetFileHash(String virtualPath, IEnumerable virtualPathDependencies)
    {
        return Guid.NewGuid().ToString();

    }
}

Answer 2

I found the solution myself on the internet.

In short words, overrides the following methods

1. GetCacheDependency - always return null
2. GetFileHash - always return different value

After these modifications, for every request, MVC gets the file from source directly.
