I am getting a weird problem while parsing a double value in managed C++. It may be that I am doing something wrong. When I do: double value = 0.006; result = Math::Parse( value) The output of result is 0.006000000000001. Why it is appending a 1? Also when I go an round the value to 5 decimal places, it fails. I am doing: result...

I've been running VS.NET 2010 beta for a couple of months now alongside VS.NET 2005. As late as yesterday afternoon I was using 2005 for work. Last night I uninstalled VS.NET 2010 and nownone of my .NET-related apps work (VS.NET 2005, SQL Server Management Studio, etc.). The installs for these products won't work, either, nor will the...
