winapi - Deleting contents of silverlight isolated storage from an MSI -

-

i have scenario msi needs delete contents of silverlight isolated storage directory particular silverlight app. since location of isolated storage app different user-to-user/machine-to-machine, msi can't directly , needs call out sort of script/executable job done. question 2 parts

  1. what's best way determine location of silverlight isolated storage particular silverlight app? current thinking walk folders underneath <user>\appdata\locallow\microsoft\silverlight\is\ , find id.dat file matches app.

  2. what framework/language should use write program (1) above , delete contents of folder? have few external dependencies possible; e.g., .net, msi require user have .net delete couple of files (unfortunately, unacceptable).

for (2), i'm thinking straight win32 app or vbscript, have no experience win32, , i'm not sure of hurdles may need jump through if people have disabled vbscript security reasons.

to identify directory i'd write empty file guid - maybe assembly guid. way don't have crack open file, file scan , find guid match , there directory.

to deletion, can use either cscript or vbscript , wscript host (google , you'll see scads of examples).

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.
