I'm doing donut caching with the MVCDonutCaching library.
Background to donut caching using this library:
The way it works, is you can cache a view, but exclude part of it from being cached, i.e. the "donut hole". You do this by having the uncachable stuff as a partial view, which is rendered by a child action. Then in the view you call that child action Html.RenderAction(...
. This way everything but that child action will be cached.
Problem:
I need to cache a view, which contains a form. Problem is the form includes an AntiForgeryToken
, which obviously should not be cached.
An obvious solution is to make that form a "donut hole", and render it via a child action. But, it needs complex viewmodel data, and child actions ony accept primitive types as arguments, otherwise I get serialization errors.
What is a good way around this?
