How to connect to other databases (1 to 15) than default database (0) in stackexchange redis?

Question

I have 3 applications pointing to single redis endpoint. I want to use separate redis database per application. But when I am trying to set defaultDatabase to 1 or 2 in ConfigurationOption it is still using database 0. I am using stackexchange redis. Code is as given below :

  var configurationOptions = new ConfigurationOptions
        {
            EndPoints = { "myredis.redis.cache.windows.net" },
            Password = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
            Ssl = true,
            ConfigurationChannel = "MyRedis",
            ChannelPrefix = "MR",
            DefaultDatabase = 1,
        };

        var connectionMultiplexer = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect(configurationOptions);

        var cacheClient = new StackExchangeRedisCacheClient(connectionMultiplexer, new JilSerializer(), database: 1);

Now adding new key to cache using ICacheClient

 var user = new User()
 {
     Id = 100,
     Name = "John Doe"
 };

var response = cacheClient.Add("mykey", user);

Then retrieving added key from cache

var addedUser= cacheClient.Get<string>("mykey");

Is there anything I am doing wrong? Ideally as per stated in configuration options it should store keys to db1 but it is storing to db0 instead.

When you retrieve the database object, you should specify the database number. https://stackexchange.github.io/StackExchange.Redis/Basics.html#using-a-redis-database
