The TryGetCached method attempts to retrieve a cached package based on the provided identifier string. It is a static method of the Package class in the Sandbox namespace. This method is useful for checking if a package is already cached locally, which can improve performance by avoiding unnecessary network requests.
To use the TryGetCached method, provide the identifier string of the package you want to check, a reference to a Package object to store the result, and a boolean indicating whether partial matches are allowed. The method returns true if the package is found in the cache, otherwise it returns false.
Parameters:
identString (System.String): The identifier string of the package to look for in the cache.package (out Sandbox.Package): An output parameter that will hold the cached package if found.allowPartial (System.Boolean): A boolean indicating whether partial matches are acceptable.// Example usage of TryGetCached method
string packageIdentifier = "example.package.id";
Package cachedPackage;
bool allowPartialMatch = false;
bool isCached = Package.TryGetCached(packageIdentifier, out cachedPackage, allowPartialMatch);
if (isCached)
{
// Use the cachedPackage as needed
Console.WriteLine($"Package '{cachedPackage.Title}' is cached.");
}
else
{
// Handle the case where the package is not cached
Console.WriteLine("Package is not cached.");
}
