Force browser to clear cache

Question

Is there a way I can put some code on my page so when someone visits a site, it clears the browser cache, so they can view the changes?

Languages used: ASP.NET, VB.N

Answer 1

For static resources right caching would be to use query parameters with value of each deployment or file version. This will have effect of clearing cache after each deployment.

/Content/css/Site.css?version={FileVersionNumber}

Here is ASP.NET MVC example.

Don't forget to update assembly version.
