How to cache ASP.NET user controls?
I heard on a recent podcast (Polymorphic) that it is possible to cache a user control as opposed to the entire page. I think my header control which displays static content and my footer control could benefit from being cached. How can I go about caching just those controls?

How would you make a comma-separated string from a list?

Ideally, this script could be run multiple times, as new tables were added to the database. SQL Server Management Studio generates scripts for individual database objects, but I'm looking for more of a "fire-and-forget" script.

Obviously you can do this unsafely with something like... var obj = eval("(" + json + ')'); ...but that leaves us vulnerable to the json string containing other code, which it seems very dangerous to simply eval.
