• Visual C++ sqrtf under 24 bit floating point precision

  Hi, While trying to estimate performance impact of using 24 bits floating point precision versus 53 bits, I've noticed that sqrtf function was 6 times slower in 24 bits control mode. Every other operation I've tried (divide, exp, cos, ...) are all faster or equal in 24 bits mode compared with 53 bits mode. How could this be explained Are there other math functions or instructions that will suffer using 24 bit mode Regards Guilla ...Show All

  I have tried very hard to get my database updated when I use the update/insert commands. I am running VB 2005 express edition beta 2.

• Visual Studio Team System Does Visual studio Pro ships SQL

  Please confirm whether Microsoft Project would be part of the Visual Studio 2005 Pro, as well as SQL Server 2005. Thanks in advance. Do you mean Pro, or VSTS You've asked in the VSTS forum. The answer in both cases is no. SQl Server Express is free, but no SS version comes with any Visual Studio, nor does Project. An MSDN sub is the way to get them all in one go. ...Show All

• Visual Studio WHAT'S THE STATUS OF THE BUG IN THE CLASS DESIGNER?

  The class details window is no longer accessible after you set it's autohide property.  The workaround you proposed, as far as I know, is: DO NOT SET THE AUTOHIDE PROPERTY. This was reported to you many months ago during the BETA cycle, and now the bug persists in the RTM. This is very annoying because I've become accustomed to the convenience of setting the autohide properties of most windows except the code and form designer.  B ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Headers

  I'm new to Reporting Services, but am familiar with other reporting tools. My question is, is there really no way to reference a field in a page header If so, I suppose you could repeat some header information on subsequent pages from the detail section of the report using a text box, but how is that done because when I check the property box "Repeat report item with data region on every page" nothing happens. What is the best way to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Overriding PublishUrl in publish target doesn't work without clean

  I have a clickonce application I want to deploy to multiple sites. My build script compiles the application once and then it calls the publish target once for each deploy site setting the PublishUrl accordingly. Unfortunatly msbuild seems to think that since no modifications have been made since the compile was done it doesn't need to rebuild the manifest file. So, I cannot compile once and publish multiple times, instead I have to recompil ...Show All
