Same old file reference in project when 'Add reference' issue

Here is the "STUPID" scenario i came across,Following is the problem i had

Issue
I had one folder in my computer and it had two different version of dlls,My project already had reference of one of the dll,But now i wanted the reference of other dll,I simply deleted the old reference and tried to add new reference of the other file by selecting it,It was added but was showing old version when i tried to see its property ,I tried multiple times with multiple ways but no luck

Solution


First just check out the folder structure i had in my project,Here "Dlls" is the folder from which i wanted to add another file


You can see the "Dlls" folder is included in the project, And thanks to "Mr. Zakir Rana", One of project partner who insisted me to try excluding this folder and adding reference, It sounded foolish to me as its physical folder after all no matter if it is included or not,But i was surprised as soon as i excluded the folder,And it started taking new reference !!!

High CPU to completely normal CPU - SXA issue, SXA pages not loading in mobile device

  Hi Team, Today i am going to share one of the nightmarish issue with you all, We are having Sitecore 9.1.1 hosted in azure PaaS environment Our site was working just fine and no noise, but we have been working on a feature release where 7-8 months of development needed to be released to production, Big GO LIVE event right?  Also to make the development smoother we also introduced BLUE/GREEN deployment slots in the same release, so we can easily SWAP slots and go live Everything went well, we went live, we even did load and performance testing on our staging and pre-prod and we were confident enough of results Very next day we started getting "SITE DOWN" alerts, and also product owners and clients mentioned that site is very slow for them in US time and in our morning when we were accessing it, it was working lighting fast so we were clue less at start, but we started digging  1) First thing caught our eyes were HIGH CPU spikes, in US time, also without any traffic CPU u...

Error in Sitecore 10.3 XM with CDs - Could not find configuration node: database/database[@id='master']

Hi Team, Recently we came across two distinct scenarios with same error message.  1) We started getting below error when we try to hit our layout service API endpoint. If we hit end point of CM, it was working fine and when we try to hit end point of CD it was giving this error, It was clear there is something in backend expecting master DB instead of WEB DB In first scenario my colleague  Jatin  also got same issue while setting up docker instance for 10.3, and my friend  Akshay Barve  and I had the same observation. 2) Second scenario I was having the same exception, It was another project on 10.3 XM with CD, It was one of the migration project so we were migrating from 10.2 to 10.3, Older site was not giving any error but new site the moment we hit, it was giving same exception in the log Issue in second scenario was in site grouping there was only site and both CM and CD URLs were given in host name and had WEB db as database, so basically there was no previ...

Solved !!! - Integrate lotus notes to third parties APP using interop.domino.dll COM API using C#

First of all before writing anything about this integration, i would like to say, i tried...tried..tried...so many times using the COM but couldn't succeeded and there were lot of things which needed to be understood just to make it work, Also the question i had was there is no documentation on IBM for C# COM API, but a good documentation on JAVA and C , so i was also not sure if this DLL would work? or we need some other way like ODBC or xPages or Webservice etc? But i think "In IT, you should read your intuitions, that is where answer lies, because they are shouting from your experience.", Because i noticed that DLL has all the required classes and properties etc. and it has same methods as shown in JAVA docs on IBM, so i was sos sure this is the DLL that would 200% work (i went into this thought process because i tried for 3 days without any luck, and later i found domino also has a web service which can be generated from domino designer etc., if i would have gone o...
