It is possible to use the CacheManager, an internal class, found in the Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing assembly to flush the cache as follows -
//The CacheManager is an internal class found in the Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing assembly
//Its methods can be used if invoked
Assembly lib = Assembly.Load("Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c");
Type cmType = lib.GetType("Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.CacheManager");
MethodInfo getManager = cmType.GetMethod("GetManager", new Type[] { typeof(SPSite) });
//Get a cache manager for the site
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://yoursite"))
{
object cacheManager = getManager.Invoke(new object(), new object[] { site });
//Flush the site's cache
MethodInfo flushCache = cmType.GetMethod("FlushCache", new Type[] { typeof(bool) });
flushCache.Invoke(cacheManager, new object[] { true });
}
