Is this Browser Back or a button you placed on the page? – griegs Aug 28 '11 at 22:55 — griegs, Aug 28 '11 at 22:55

if you want just one specific action to get from server every time use

[OutputCache(NoStore = true, Duration = 1)]

as an attribute on your action like this

    [HttpGet]
    [OutputCache(NoStore = true, Duration = 1)]
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        ........
    }

If the browser has the page cached, it'll use the one from cache.

Try telling the response not to cache. You can do it with an ActionFilter or globally in Global.asax.

    httpContext.Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-1));
    httpContext.Response.Cache.SetValidUntilExpires(false);
    httpContext.Response.Cache.SetRevalidation(HttpCacheRevalidation.AllCaches);
    httpContext.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
    httpContext.Response.Cache.SetNoStore();

More options here:

Disable browser cache for entire ASP.NET website

Try this in your HTML section:

<meta http-equiv="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">

That will stop the page from being cached by your browser.

that should be in your HTML "HEAD" section – Steve Woods Aug 29 '11 at 08:54
