bug in double calculations?

Hi!

I just encountered a strange behaviour of the IDE:

If you wannt to evaluate the result of the following expression, if in immediate window or in a watch window, the IDE hangs or crashes:

double r = 2.5+(-5/System.Math.Sqrt(50)) * System.Math.Sqrt((25-(System.Math.Sqrt(50)*0.5) * (System.Math.Sqrt(50)*0.5)));
Console.WriteLine(r);

If you run the build app (debug or release version), it gives the correct result,
wich is allmost zero (4,44089209850063E-16).

This can be reproduced on different machines.

I tried to report as a bug, but cannot overcome the "Profile Center" page showing up immediately after logging in, it always takes me back to this page.

Any ideas

Regards
Ali

This did happen in Beta 2. I've just tried to repro this on the newest builds and the issue has already been fixed.

HTH,
