installer - How can I have different properties and such in a vs 2010 setup project for the for two different release versions? -

-

what want have 1 setup project in solution, , want able install 'release1' , 'release2' versions (as in versions debug/release1/release2) simultaneously on 1 machine. so, release1 version needs own program folder, product code , shortcuts , such, , release2 version needs own unique versions of these things too.

it seems setup project doesn't store seperate properties 2 different release versions. seems thats different output path, , of course use different generated exes.

am going have move wix solve problem? or there simple i'm missing here? seems kind of stupid can't configure installer different things 2 different release versions. far looking i'll have make setup project, going annoying because don't having maintain 1 setup project let alone 2.

thanks in advance help.

creating 2 different setup projects, 1 called production setup , 1 called test setup might cleanest way, since makes os believe delivering 2 different products, in fact case here.

moving wix, suggested yourself, has indeed advantage can reuse parts in both setup projects, avoiding need maintain same list of files twice, example.

there is, of course, option. if production setup , test setup projects identical, , need exchange guids (the product or package code, example, make msi consider them different), create simple script copies first setup project file second location , exchanges guids within file (which nothing xml file). have maintain first project file , can regenerate second 1 rerunning script.

personally doing such stuff in vbs, can use powershell or write simple tool in language capable of doing xml or regex processing.

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.
