Recently I wrote a program which loads some CSV files in to DataTables and do some processing. These files are in large size and have nearly 1 million rows. When I load first file in to data table it works fine. But then I load the second file I get a “Out of Memory exception” even though first I make the previously loaded datatable to null. After searching for hours I found the following solution which solved my issue. var sourceDataTable = DataParserHelper .GetDataTableFromCsv( @"F:\FileSplitter\Data\5263\property_finance.csv" );                    sourceDataTable.Clear();           sourceDataTable.Dispose();           sourceDataTable = null ;                       GC .Collect();           GC .WaitForFullGCComplete();           GC .WaitForPendingFinalizers();   if you make the datatable null what happens is it frees the Datatable from the rows and columns. But actually those rows and columns retained in the memory and those are not rea...

  Recently I got a requirement to clear cache value for a given client account. In our systems we have multiple contractors , and we cache some data related to that contractor account. Cache keys are as follows. string .Format( "{ 0} :ServiceTypeList" , clientConfiguration .Code);        string .Format( "{ 0} :PropertyViewModelList" , clientConfiguration .Code);        string .Format( "{ 0} -{ 1} :FaultTypeList" , clientConfiguration .Code,                      serviceType .ServiceTypeID);        string .Format( "{ 0} -{ 1} :LocationList" , clientConfiguration .Code,                      property .PropertyNo); Here some cache keys are based on Client Configuration code, and some have client configuration and some code too. But when we have to clear the cache for a given client account we have only the Client Configuration code. So we used the following approach. 1. Get all Cache Keys private static ConnectionMultiplexe...
