Importance of flushing memory

As we know in our day to day life how important 'Flush' is :),But that teaches us same thing in our programming life as well

Let me share a scenario where i faced the issue,In our day to day life of deadlines,Sometimes we forget to write the code which is actually needed there,You achieved the best with your code but you do not achieve the better sometimes

The Scenario :

I before few days created export to CSV and export functionality of my one of the list (Grid),It was importing the data very well,But on the close examination of data i found out that its inconsistent data,At some point of time it stopped writing the data and from that point onward there were no data in exported file.

Following is the code.


HSSFRow row = wsheet.GetRow(i);
for (short j = 0; j < row.LastCellNum; j++)
{

     HSSFCell cell = row.GetCell(j);
     string strValue = string.Format("\"{0}\",",   Convert.ToString(cell.RichStringCellValue.String));
       StreamWriter.Write(strValue);
       
 

}
StreamWriter.WriteLine();
StreamWriter.Flush();

If you see above code you do not find any issue,Same happened with me,I tried debugging it over and over,logging the operation but surprising thing was in log each and everything was coming,And i end up finding the issue was below

Issue The mistake i did was i was not clearing our StreamWriter from memory by flushing the memory and hence it was creating issue,One single statement introduced and woooo...issue got resolved like below


HSSFRow row = wsheet.GetRow(i);
for (short j = 0; j < row.LastCellNum; j++)
{

     HSSFCell cell = row.GetCell(j);
     string strValue = string.Format("\"{0}\",",   Convert.ToString(cell.RichStringCellValue.String));
       StreamWriter.Write(strValue);
       StreamWriter.Flush();
 

}
StreamWriter.WriteLine();
StreamWriter.Flush();

Everything started working as it should be,Simple but very important to follow the theories.

Sitecore Technical Workshops - Top FAQs customers asked on XM Cloud

Hi Readers, I want to talk to you about interesting things which we have been doing which is "Technical Workshops" for our customers, so here goes the scenarios. So, we have been doing multiple types of technical workshops.  1) Training customer and their Sitecore technical team on latest and the greatest technologies like XM Cloud & Another composable stack and try enabling them for new Sitecore tech stack. 2) Customers / Potential Customers have their agenda of existing pain points, and we take a workshop on topics around them with best practices etc. little on new technologies, so they also know the future. Basically, we prepare custom targeted presentations & demos for individual workshops, and make sure it helps them answer their questions and they get insights of where Sitecore eco systems has to offer from their versatile toolset and try to keep them up to date with it. So, Purpose of this blog is, because in all these customer & their technical team's

Set up leprechaun code generation with Sitecore XM Cloud Starterkit

Hi Sitecorians, It has been amazing learning year so far and with the change in technology and shift of the focus on frontend frameworks and composable products, it has been market demand to keep learning and exploring new things. Reasons behind this blog Today's topic is something that was in my draft from April-May, and I always thought that there is already a good documentation out there for  Leprechaun  and a blog post is not needed, Until I realized that there was so many of us facing same kind of issues and same kind of problems and spending same amount of time, That is where I thought, if I could write something which can reduce that repetitive troubleshooting time, That would really help the community. 1)  In a project environment, if we get into some configuration issues, we resolve them, we make sure we are not blocked and continue, but if you think same issue, same step and same scenario will come to other people, so if we can draft it online, it will help other people 2

An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.

You have noticed many times that everything was working fine and suddenly the below error starts coming and you find no way to work it out An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details. The reason for this is the receiving size of WCF service is smaller then the data which is coming from service It was working before because it was small,So you will have to try to increase the receiving setting in your end point,Possible settings can be following maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" That would definately help you!!!
