Is server cache reloaded everytime when web.config changes?

[Guest]

Hello,

My web app is reading data from web.config and cache it right away. I was
testing it on production server, but I noticied that every time I change
..config file it reads new data, rather then pulling it from cache. Is it by
design or my caching is not working correctly? Thank you

By design, when you modify web.config or anything in the /bin folder, the
entire application restarts and you lose everything from the original
appDomain.
