How to programatically force execution of cached report?

[PeterPPSA]

Is there a way in .net to force a report to execute and recreate its cache (even if the cache is not ready to expire)?

Thank you.

are you referring to crystal reports or reporting services?
their cache is independent of asp.net. an implementation my reference asp.net, but that is an implementation detail of the cache provider. the report may have a force/clear/refresh method that would invalidate the cache.

Reporting Services 2008. I've heard of a switch I can set if I invoke the report using a query string in the URL. I'd be interested in knowing what that is. But I'm also interested in finding another way to do it; for example, if the reportviewer control is used. Thanks.

I would start here;
basically you want to expire the cache and then create the report as you normally would.
