I need to deploy some C# code onto two Netduinos but each Netduino requires different code. Is it possible to connect both Netduino's, at the same time, to a single laptop via two USB ports on the laptop? In C#, will the device name change from "NetduinoPlus_NetduinoPlus" to NetduinoPlus_NetduinoPlus_1" or something so that I can select which Netduino to target?

I guess I'm going to be forced to try this on my own. I will let you know the outcome.

Yes, exactly. You can also rename one of them to something more permanent by using the Target > Configuration > USB option in MFDeploy.I need to deploy some C# code onto two Netduinos but each Netduino requires different code.

For instance, you could name one "NetduinoPlus_PeanutButter" and the other "NetduinoPlus_Jelly". [Bonus: if they ever become sentient, they'll already be friends...]
Naming them is probably the best option...because them it won't matter which order they're plugged in...Visual Studio will always recognize them by their custom names.
