I say "decent" because it's clearly *less* stable than VS2010, especially when working with XAML sources. Often the IDE hangs, and you must close a service via Task Manager.
Nonsense. I now use VS2012 almost exclusively where possible. The stability and performance is leaps and bounds over 2010.
2010 Designer would hang on XAML plenty, it's the toolbox. I suggest if patience was applied the toolbox would complete it's load after a few minutes, with no need to kill the process. I also suggest that it would be worthwhile effort to investigate your currently installed extensions to ensure one of them is not the culprit.
The only thing holding me back going 100% VS2012 in my personal work, is .NET MF with Netduino.
Any further word on that SDK for 4.3 beta? Perhaps I should ask in the 4.3beta thread.

I never use toolbox, nor the visual designer, but the raw xaml instead all the times. The hang often happens when you close a tab containing xaml, or also when you close the whole IDE having some xaml panes.
However, I switched to Win 8 Pro here at home. Despite some limitation, seems working fine. Major troubles are with old apps (VB6), and unsigned drivers which are not more allowed (unless a tricky procedure).

I do not doubt you've experienced what you say. What I'm driving at is the claim 2012 is less stable than 2010 is inaccurate. 2010 experiences similar issues and many many more.
Perhaps the longer usage, yet the many patches to the 2010, but *at the moment* the 2010 yields almost *NO* bugs, while 2012 does.
I believe it's normal for a new product.
Cheers

I'm using Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows Desktop and the .NET Micro Framework 4.3 SDK exclusively on my main laptop at the moment. .NET MF 4.3 is getting closer and closer to release quality every day.Any further word on that SDK for 4.3 beta? Perhaps I should ask in the 4.3beta thread.
We'll post an update once it's ready to go. Hopefully soon; VS2012 is indeed very nice.

I'm guessing that it's more likely a driver mismatch.Quick question. Is the problem of a VS2010 Netduino project not seeing the Netduino in the Device dropdown with the NEtduino or Windows 8? In other words do I have to wait for some update to the tools to support Windows 8 or is it a firmware update to the Netduino so I have to go find a Windows 7 machine to update the firmware?
Try uninstalling your current NETMF 4.2 and Netduino SDKs, and then installing the latest 4.2 SDKs from the downloads page.
If you had an older version of either of those installed, then Netduinos based on the 4.2 QFE2 codebase won't appear.

Netduino Plus (gen1), if the drivers are installed, will appear under the "USB" entries. If no drivers are installed, it'll be visible when you first open Device Manager...with an exclamation mark over its icon. If it has been erased, it'll appear in Ports as "GPS COM PORT" or "Atmel devboard (COMx)" or something along those lines.Let's start at the device manager. Where and what would the Netduino look like under the device manager?
If your board's silkscreen says "Netduino Plus", then you have one of the gen1 boards. .NET MF 4.2 QFE2 is what you want...it'll work with all the boards.I believe I have an old Netduino Plus. What else is there other than QFE2? The downloads page and plus forum link to QFE2.

When you attach and detach the Netduino Plus from your PC, does Device Manager rescan?I don't see anything in device manager. No unknowns, nothing new shows up in the USB tree (even after a rescan).
Have you tried another Micro USB cable?
Finally...if the blue LED never goes off, that means that your board is either erased or damaged. If erased, it should show up a serial port or unknown device.
