From reading these forums, I understand that the Netduino currently supports a subset of the classes (or are they called namespaces) that are provided in the current .NET Micro Framework. Is there a list? Is the NETMF API Reference the only thing I'm supposed to need? I think I'm missing something.
Thanks...Scott

Here is a link to the MSDN documentation on the supported classes for v4.1: http://msdn.microsof...y/ee435793.aspx. With the .NET Micro Framework, not only is the list of available classes different but in some cases the methods and properties can be different as well.
With the framework running all of the code on the processor directly, there are a few additional classes for certain hardware ports like PWM and Analog, which are currently provided by Secret Labs in the Netduino SDK as of version 4.1 but the *almost* released version of 4.2 should have both PWM and Analog functions built in to the .NET SDK.
What is it that you are trying to do? Or are you running into an issue?

Thanks for the quick response. No issues yet, I'm just getting started with .NET and C#. I have some Basic Stamp and ASP/VBSCRIPT experience. I read that VB is/will be supported but since most/all of the online examples are in C#, I'll take the opportunity to learn some of it. I just downloaded the Getting Started with the Internet of Things book so I'll start there.

I think some input from Chris Walker would be good here. He has pointed out to me before that the NetMF TinyCore class is too big to be implemented on Netduino Plus. I suspect there is other class and functions too. I have struggled with some Date/Time stuff part of (not so) TinyCore, and currently investigating a simple web server implementation which may be a "class too far" via NetMF.
Hopefully down the line there will be a more powerful Netduino, N+++ that will deliver a real time clock and full NetMF implmentation without having to completely empty the "piggy bank" in the process
