Basic Redis Operations

In this section, we will cover some of the basic operations that can be performed in Redis, including setting, getting, and deleting data. These operations are essential for interacting with the Redis datastore.

To perform these operations, we will be using the StackExchange.Redis library, which provides a high-performance Redis client for .NET.

Let's start by looking at how to set data in Redis.

Setting Data

To set data in Redis, we can use the StringSet method provided by the IDatabase interface. This method takes two parameters: the key and the value.

Here's an example that demonstrates how to set data in Redis using the StackExchange.Redis library:

TEXT/X-CSHARP
1using StackExchange.Redis;
2using System;
3
4public class RedisOperations
5{
6    private readonly ConnectionMultiplexer _connectionMultiplexer;
7    private readonly IDatabase _database;
8
9    public RedisOperations()
10    {
11        _connectionMultiplexer = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect("localhost:6379");
12        _database = _connectionMultiplexer.GetDatabase();
13    }
14
15    public void SetData(string key, string value)
16    {
17        _database.StringSet(key, value);
18    }
19}
20
21public class Program
22{
23    public static void Main()
24    {
25        var redisOperations = new RedisOperations();
26
27        // Set data
28        redisOperations.SetData("name", "John");
29        Console.WriteLine("Data set successfully.");
30    }
31}

In the above code, we create a class RedisOperations that has a method SetData which takes a key and a value as parameters. Inside the method, we use the StringSet method of the IDatabase interface to set the data in Redis.

Once the data is set, we can retrieve it using the GetData method.

Getting Data

To get data from Redis, we can use the StringGet method provided by the IDatabase interface. This method takes the key as a parameter and returns the corresponding value.

Here's an example that demonstrates how to get data from Redis using the StackExchange.Redis library:

TEXT/X-CSHARP
1using StackExchange.Redis;
2using System;
3
4public class RedisOperations
5{
6    private readonly ConnectionMultiplexer _connectionMultiplexer;
7    private readonly IDatabase _database;
8
9    public RedisOperations()
10    {
11        _connectionMultiplexer = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect("localhost:6379");
12        _database = _connectionMultiplexer.GetDatabase();
13    }
14
15    public string GetData(string key)
16    {
17        return _database.StringGet(key);
18    }
19}
20
21public class Program
22{
23    public static void Main()
24    {
25        var redisOperations = new RedisOperations();
26
27        // Get data
28        var name = redisOperations.GetData("name");
29        Console.WriteLine("Name: " + name);
30    }
31}

In the above code, we create a class RedisOperations that has a method GetData which takes a key as a parameter. Inside the method, we use the StringGet method of the IDatabase interface to retrieve the data from Redis.

Finally, let's look at how to delete data from Redis.

Deleting Data

To delete data from Redis, we can use the KeyDelete method provided by the IDatabase interface. This method takes the key as a parameter and deletes the corresponding data.

Here's an example that demonstrates how to delete data from Redis using the StackExchange.Redis library:

TEXT/X-CSHARP
1using StackExchange.Redis;
2using System;
3
4public class RedisOperations
5{
6    private readonly ConnectionMultiplexer _connectionMultiplexer;
7    private readonly IDatabase _database;
8
9    public RedisOperations()
10    {
11        _connectionMultiplexer = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect("localhost:6379");
12        _database = _connectionMultiplexer.GetDatabase();
13    }
14
15    public void DeleteData(string key)
16    {
17        _database.KeyDelete(key);
18    }
19}
20
21public class Program
22{
23    public static void Main()
24    {
25        var redisOperations = new RedisOperations();
26
27        // Delete data
28        redisOperations.DeleteData("name");
29        Console.WriteLine("Data deleted successfully.");
30    }
31}

In the above code, we create a class RedisOperations that has a method DeleteData which takes a key as a parameter. Inside the method, we use the KeyDelete method of the IDatabase interface to delete the data from Redis.

That covers the basic operations for setting, getting, and deleting data in Redis. These operations are fundamental for working with Redis in a .NET application.

Next, we'll explore different data structures available in Redis.
