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 available in the cache without needing to fetch it from a remote source.
To use the TryGetCached method, provide the identifier string of the package you are looking for, 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 search 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)
{
// Package was found in cache
// You can now use cachedPackage
}
else
{
// Package was not found in cache
// Consider fetching it from a remote source
}
