Need more Get function in the Cache class

[PrimeObjects]

Hi,

In session class, we have Get, GetInt32, GetString functions.
Can I suggest we also do it to Cache Class to make the design consistent?

Thanks
Gary

Also can I suggest to have Set, SetString, SetInt32 ...
Now I have to rely on a string->byte[] function

Yes, we need to be able to do "StringSet" for example, if Redis is underneath IDistributedCache...

We are not planning to add any Get$TypeName methods to existing MemoryCache, but we may add a new generic MemoryCache<TKey, TValue>. Please follow #48567 for updates.
