Being only two days old there is little information out there at the time of this writing. By starting with Beta 1 configuration samples and working with Reflector to inspect the Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Core and Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Client assemblies I was able to make the necessary changes so that the configuration xml lines up with the associated configuration class. I ended up with the following.
<configSections>..:
<section name="dataCacheClient"
type="Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheClientSection,
Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Core, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
allowLocation="true"
allowDefinition="Everywhere"/>
<dataCacheClient>
<hosts>
<host
name="localhost"
cachePort="22233"/>
</hosts>
</dataCacheClient>
This minimalist configuration was enough to get me started with simple ‘Add’ and ‘Get’ operations against the cache.
var factory = new DataCacheFactory();
cache = factory.GetCache("default");
