How to access cache instance in DbConfiguration from DbContext?

[Uwe Keim]

Trying to delete all items from the cache, I've read this discussion.

Ideally, I want to create a method ClearCache() in my DbContext-derived class which in turn accesses the InMemoryCache instance inside my DbConfiguration-derived class.

What I'm struggling with is:

How to get a reference to my DbConfiguration-derived class from within my DbContext-derived class?

I've also asked on SO but maybe I'm on the completely wrong path?

Just store a reference to the cache in a static variable before you pass it to the CacheTransactionHandler ctor and then you should be able to it access from anywhere. The cache is effectively singleton so I don't think there is any problem with doing this.

Thanks a lot.
