How to remove image from cache when Image is changed

Question
-
Hello Everyone, I have perform Image Caching by following instruction of this article http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/CachingImagesInASPNET.aspx Based on it, I have one question. What if I have a portal in which user can change their profile image, and as soon as user change their profile image, new image should display rather than cache image, is it possible that i can remove previously stored user image from cache? One way is to change name of image, but it is not possible because of nature of application, so how can i change image instantly on change of user image? Example: User4.jpg is name of image, this image name will remain same when User upload new image, but new image will never appears until cache expires so he will always see old User4.jpg image despite he just changed the image. Is there any way I can disallow caching of Image for particular folder? or any solution for this problem? Its very hard for me to figure out solution for this problem, your help would very much appreciated.Thankshttp://dotnetguts.blogspot.com
