• Visual Studio Tools for Office FV result is being different from Pure Math Calculation ?

  Could anyone please help me to rectify the following problem. Compounded ROI Term(Yrs) Term (Months) TotTerm Instalment Halfyearly 8% 6 0 =(6+(0/12)) 6 1000 (=8%/2) =6*2 =1000/2 2 0.04 12 =500 If I use Excel FV Function like this FV(0.04, 12, -500, 0, 1) The result becomes 7813.42 But if I calculate in the following way: 1000 6 =ROUND(1000*(1+(0.04))^(12),0) = 1601 1000 5 =ROUND(1000*(1+(0.04))^(10),0) = 1480 1000 4 =ROUND(1000*(1+(0.04))^(8),0) = 1369 1000 3 =ROUND(1000*(1+(0.04))^(6),0) = 1265 1000 2 =ROUND(1000*(1+(0.04))^(4),0) = 1170 1000 1 =ROUND(1000*(1+(0.04))^(2),0) = 1082 The result becomes 7967 The difference is b ...Show All

• .NET Development DLL loaded twice

  Hi, I was looking at DLLS used by a process using ProcessSpy and found that the process has loaded two DLLs for few of the system dlls like Systsem.Drawing.Dll, System.Windows.Forms.Dll etc. For one of these DLLs the version is 0.0.0.0 and the other one has a valid version. Unfortunately, I can't add a snapshot of the window here. What I am wondering is, whether its pretty common to have this behavior or something is wrong in the taks, the way it is loading DLL. Thanks, -Brajesh It will still be loaded regardless. It is loaded first, then the native image is loaded. Assemblies can't be unloaded from an AppDomain. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Windows Services - Debug

  Hi all, I'm writing a simple Service that pings my website. Now I've done the "installutil.exe /i Service.exe". Then I go to Windows Services Manager, there I manually start the service. Now I want to debug the running service. I go to my VS--> debug --> attach to Process, where I find my process however it's gray and says managed as Type. And I cannot click attach.. What am I doing wrong Greets Hi, in the same dialog, check the "Show processes from all users" option - your service, probably running under the SYSTEM account, should appear in the process list and you would be able to attach debugger to it.

• Visual Studio Team System Prefast: Bogus C6001, hiding _VC_NODEFAULTLIB

  I've run cl /analyze over a fairly small project (just some 30Kloc) and seeing all kinds of issues. That's the Vista Beta2 Platform SDK compiler, but it looks like it's just the VS8 gold version.
