But in case of Server.Transfer it directly communicate with the server to change the page hence it saves a roundtrip in the whole process.

Differentiate between file-based dependency and key-based dependency

File-based dependency facilitates you to save the dependency on a file in a disk. We can set the dependency to multiple files also. On such cases, the dependency should be built from an array of files or directories.

In key-based dependency , you depend on another cached item. This is useful when we have multiple interrelated objects in the cache and if one of the objects changes, we need to updated or expire all of them.

What is meant by runtime hosts?

The runtime host loads the runtime into a process, creates the application domains within the process, and loads user code into the application domains. Each type of application requires a runtime host to start it. For ASP.Net , runtime hosts loads the runtime that can handle a web request into the process. ASP.NET also creates an application domain for each Web application that will run on a Web server.
