Persist page outputcache

Question

Is there an option to make page outputcache persist even after IIS restart or web.config modification?

Right now when I upload files the site recompiles and the outputcache resets and get cached upon the next page request.

You can implement your own outputcache provider by implementing the OutputCacheProvider:

public abstract class OutputCacheProvider : ProviderBase
 {
   public abstract object Get(string key);
   public abstract object Add(string key, object entry, DateTime utcExpiry);
   public abstract void Set(string key, object entry, DateTime utcExpiry);
   public abstract void Remove(string key);
 }
