exactly and my cache is working as expected I am able to store and retrieve data so why has the achievement not shown up?  The azure account I am connecting to is my companies and has been around for a while.  I'm assuming there is something in VS that should be triggering this but it is not.  Thanks.

Kidding aside, no idea what is going on.

It's looking for some sort of marker that you used Azure Cache.

<dataCacheClient>

node look like?

PS - You are very close to getting them all!

<dataCacheClient name="default">
  <hosts>
    <host name="***.cache.windows.net" cachePort="22233" />
  </hosts>
  <securityProperties mode="Message">
    <messageSecurity authorizationInfo="***"></messageSecurity>
  </securityProperties>
</dataCacheClient>

Here is the use of it in code

string GetCache()
{
    DataCacheFactory cacheFactory = new DataCacheFactory();
    DataCache cache = cacheFactory.GetDefaultCache();
    cache.Put("item", "value");
    var r = (string)cache.Get("item");
    return r;
}

Also this is the last achievement i need to have them all so please help.  Thanks so much.

So we're going to need to update the extension. Until then, you can prob figure out a workaround   BTW, congrats on getting all the achievements. You truly are an ace hack.

no need to wait for update

I've tried everything!

Colocated, Dedicated, Shared caches. Local storages, Azure storages... I've really learned Azure Caching... But

Help plz, I can't sleep

PS: Sry, wrong account, http://channel9.msdn.com/niners/evangistudio/achievements/visualstudio

Using Azure SDK October 2012 and here is my code

DataCache cache = new DataCache("default");
cache.Add("item", "value");
var value = cache.Get("item");
cache.Remove("item"); 

The code works.

PLEASE HELP!!!

<dataCacheClients>
    <dataCacheClient name="default">
      <hosts>
        <host name="xxx.cache.windows.net" cachePort="22233" />
      </hosts>
      <securityProperties mode="Message">
        <messageSecurity authorizationInfo="[xxx]"></messageSecurity>
      </securityProperties>
    </dataCacheClient>
    <dataCacheClient name="SslEndpoint">
      <hosts>
        <host name="xxx.cache.windows.net" cachePort="22243" />
      </hosts>
      <securityProperties mode="Message" sslEnabled="true">
        <messageSecurity authorizationInfo="[xxx]"></messageSecurity>
      </securityProperties>
    </dataCacheClient>
  </dataCacheClients>

DataCacheFactoryConfiguration config = new DataCacheFactoryConfiguration("default");
DataCacheFactory cacheFactory = new DataCacheFactory(config);
DataCache defaultCache = cacheFactory.GetDefaultCache();

defaultCache.Put("testkey", "testobject");
string strObject = (string)defaultCache.Get("testkey");
defaultCache.Remove("testkey");

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

DataCacheFactoryConfiguration config = new DataCacheFactoryConfiguration("default"); DataCacheFactory cacheFactory = new DataCacheFactory(config); DataCache defaultCache = cacheFactory.GetDefaultCache();   defaultCache.Put("testkey", "testobject"); string strObject = (string)defaultCache.Get("testkey"); defaultCache.Remove("testkey");

Maybe the compiler is smart enough to reduce the last three lines to:

var strObject = "testobject";
