HttpRuntime.Cache in sharepoint timer job

Question

Can we use HttpRuntime.Cache in sharepoint timer job. I getting error while using HttpRuntime.Cache in timer job.

The time jobs are running in a different process(OWSTIMER.EXE) than then the application pool your website(w3wp.exe) is running on. So you cannot access the HttpRuntime.Cache in SharePoint timer jobs.
