c# time format weirdness -

-

i have following string thetimeformat custom time format:

  "{0:h:mm tt}"

i have following datetime thetime:

  {1/14/2011 2:19:00 am}

i have following statement

  thistime = thetime.tostring(thetimeformat);

why thistime equal "{0:2:19 am}" . should 2:19 , i'm not seeing why. not in gridview, use following statement , works charm:

((boundfield)(mygrid.columns[0])).dataformatstring = theuserpreferences.usertimeformat; theuserpreferences.usertimeformat same format string.

any suggestions?

when put time format datetime's tostring method, don't need placeholder; is, have this:

thetimeformat = "h:mm tt";

and

thistime = thetime.tostring(thetimeformat)

would give desired output.

edit:

per extended question in comment, allow put format in requires placeholder (and store aforementioned version of thetimeformat in db):

string formatwithplaceholder = "{0:" + thetimeformat + "}";

i briefly played around string.format instead of concatentation, having braces in format giving issues. nonetheless, works, don't particularly concatenation.

c# - Is it possible to remove an existing registration from Autofac container builder? -

-
something along lines: builder.registertype<mytype>().as<itype>(); builder.registertype<mytype2>().as<itype>(); builder.deregistertype<mytype>().as<itype>() var container = builder.build(); var types = container.resolve<ienumerable<itype>>(); assert.istrue(types.count == 1); assert.istrue(types[0].gettype == typeof(mytype2)); scenario: go through bunch of assemblies , go register types want make sure have 1 implementation of given type. need before create container. track on own nice if autofac me bit. this cannot done directly using containerbuilder , unless start on new one. mind you, having first built container should able construct new container filtering away unwanted types , reusing registrations first container. this: ... var container = builder.build(); builder = new containerbuilder(); var components = container.componentregistry.registrations .where(cr => cr.activator.limittype != typ...

php - Mysql PK and FK char(36) vs int(10) -

-
i have read mysql can handle indexes , searches better if tables keys integers rather char(36) uuid's. is worth converting int(10)? note: use 1 server , have have plans use multiple databases concurrently therefore removing 1 of big reasons using uuid. our tables innodb if makes difference. thanks in advance. usually rdbms can handle integer keys pk more efficient, other datatypes. reason how build index column, yes: long dont require string (or other typed) keys, should use integers. however: char(36) , int(10) far away being equal, because int(10) much smaller, char(36). dont know, if require many different keys, should keep in mind. update, complete last paragraph: int(10) 32-bit, char(36) 36 - ^byte^ (= 288-bit). not mean, int consumes less space, means, char(36) has 4 times more different keys.
