Just moved to 4.2 RTM (QFE1), on a Netduino Plus
I checked couple of programs, but found issues. Projects with any networking seems to work fine. However, projects involving networking do not get deployed.
The error I am getting is quite useless:

Incrementally deploying assemblies to device
Deploying assemblies for a total size of 51348 bytes
Assemblies not successfully deployed to device.
Deployment to the device was not successful.

And the error list suggest I should check my hardware.

Any pointer for identifying the problem will be appreciated.

Hi ZakieM,

The Netduino Plus 4.2 RC4 firmware has 48KB of flash available.

We're trying to push this up to 56KB in the RC5 firmware. .NET MF 4.2 grew a bit over 4.1, so it takes up a little more flash.

Thanks Chris.Ouch... I thought there will be 10K more :-( It is a simple program that parses information from Web servers (XML), but to save space and memory I'm doing it the tedious way with manually parsing stream. Got to bare minimum of functionality and it doesn't seem like it will fit to memory eventually. With the 4.1 I was running between 19K to 9K free, which from time time causes out-of-memory exception if was not calling GC myself after string operations.

There's a bit more RAM with the new 4.2 update...but a bit less flash. We're continuing to tune, to see if we can free up a bit more for code... Chris
