c# - Why does my WinForms context menu not appear where the mouse is? -

-

in application have datagridview meant configuring options. idea can enter whatever text want in first column, if right click give explicitly supported values. need textbox rather dropdown list because need support editing invalid (or old) configurations.

what want user right click in field name column , have context menu valid based on type of configuration is. therefore, coded following event

    private void grvfielddata_cellmouseclick(object sender, datagridviewcellmouseeventargs e)     {         // if right click on field name column, create context menu          //   recognized options field         if (e.button == mousebuttons.right && grvfielddata.columns[e.columnindex].name == "clmfieldname")         {             contextmenu menu = new contextmenu();              if (_supporteddatagrids.containskey((cmbdatagrid.selecteditem datagridfieldlist).gridname))             {                 // loop through fields , add them context menu                 list<string> fields = _supporteddatagrids[((cmbdatagrid.selecteditem datagridfieldlist).gridname)];                 fields.sort();                  foreach (string field in fields)                     menu.menuitems.add(new menuitem(field));                  // make sure there @ least 1 field before displaying context menu                 if (menu.menuitems.count > 0)                     menu.show(this, e.location, leftrightalignment.right);             }         }     }

this works "correctly", context menu appearing @ top of form, not mouse pointer is. if change show() call use datagridview instead of form, have same issue instead appears @ top-left hand corner of grid, not mouse is.

oddly enough, if change event mouseclick event (instead of cellmouseclick event) works , context menu appears mouse pointer is. problem option user might not right clicking on cell selected, means when click on menu item, selected cell changed , not cell right clicked on.

does have hints why context menus created cellmouseclick not showing @ correct spot?

 menu.show(this, e.location, leftrightalignment.right);

the 2nd argument mouse location, relative cell's upper left corner. programmed, make offset relative this, form, make menu appear in upper left corner of form. use dgv 1st argument doesn't work either, in upper left corner of grid.

a couple of ways fix this, easy way:

 point pos = this.pointtoclient(cursor.position);  menu.show(this, pos, leftrightalignment.right);

you can arbitrarily replace this grvfielddata.

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.
