I shouldn't need to use GetMethods or GetParameters since I'm writing the code myself I will already know the Methods and Parameters for them.

That what is normally expected.

In my case, I was trying to make a Web Server, but I wanted it to support the MVC coding style for server applications. So in addition to hosting the easy html/script/resource files on the SD card I also wanted end-users to be able to have their own binaries. The server piece would then have to inspect the user's "Controller" classes, get their methods and parameters. I was "hoping" to do parsing of the request string into parameters and call their methods... just like MVC running on IIS. And I was right there... until I started looking for "GetParameters".

It was not to be. Dammit!

IMHO, you have only two choices if your app is pretty complex:
- use a bigger (and expensive) board (such as the GHI's);
- buy a Netduino (mini or standard, NOT plus), then write many parts as native.

Didn't I read in some thread that you can load Netduino Firmware onto a NetduinoPlus and get all the memory "benefits" of the downgrade without downgrading your hardware. True? My imagination?

I don't know what thread you mean.
Anyway, probably you may use the standard firmware in the Plus version, but...if you don't take advantage of the extra hardware, what's the goal?
If you don't care about the Plus features, then save $30 and buy the base version.

I'm sure I've read that somewhere (can't find a thread to verify though) - you get a standard Netduino until you put the Plus firmware back on the board.

Its on tech page... in fine print

And the point... is for your prototype machine... one project may need networking, next might not... but need lots of space. So reload Netduino... reload Netdunio Plus... wah... la.
