Will ASP CSS page still get cached as normal CSS page?

Question

I'm converting a style-sheet from .CSS to .ASPX, so I can load some color configurations from a database, in to my style-sheet.

Inside the aspx style-sheet would be a DB connection, a small SQL query to grab the colors, and then the rest of my css, sometimes containing ASP variables.

Will this styles.aspx page still get cached in the same way as a normal css file would?

As long as the URL isn't constantly changing due to a querystring it will be cached just like a normal stylesheet. Browsers only see the response headers sent by the server and the content of the stylesheet, not the source code on the server.

The client does not care at all what happens server side. The only thing it cares about is the response and the response HTTP headers. If those are identical to a regular CSS file, it doesn't make any difference whether the response is served from a file, created dynamically via ASP or written on the fly by unicorns.
