ContextMenuStrip not showing nearby cursor

I'm trying to create an event that shows a contextmenu when I right click a row in my datgridview.

Here is an image of the problem that is happening:

enter image description here

And here is the code I am currently using:

Private Sub dgvStudents_CellMouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs) Handles dgvStudents.CellMouseDown
    Dim rowClicked As DataGridView.HitTestInfo = dgvStudents.HitTest(e.X, e.Y)
    'Select Right Clicked Row if its not the header row
    If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right AndAlso e.RowIndex > -1 Then
        'Clear any currently sellected rows
        dgvStudents.ClearSelection()
        Me.dgvStudents.Rows(e.RowIndex).Selected = True
        ContextMenuStrip1.Show(dgvStudents, Control.MousePosition)

    End If
End Sub

P.S the screen capture doesn't show my cursor >.> but it's definitely not synced with the context menu!

EDIT: Ok guys I've solved it,

I simply replaced Control.MousePosition to MousePosition and it worked!

Neither of these worked for me. The solution that got the menu to pop up under the mouse was:

ContextMenuStrip1.Show(MousePosition.X, MousePosition.Y)

Mouse.Position is in screen coordinates. You'll need to provide the relative coordinates, relative from dgvStudents. They are handed to you on a silver platter through the event argument:

  ContextMenuStrip1.Show(dgvStudents, e.Location)

Context menus are normally displayed in response to mouse-up so do favor the CellMouseUp event instead.
