I've read these two threads:

My basic question is: what does the netduino know about time, and how can I access it? I (think I) know there's no RTC (real time clock), but there is a RTT (real time timer) which is fine, but what ways to get access to accurate time? Can events be raised by timers?
Most of the samples I've seen deal with timing through thread.sleep.
Questions about time

Hi Bill,
Check out System.Threading.Timer.
There used to be a Microsoft.SPOT.ExtendedTimer as well. Not sure if it still exists (or is needed) in .NET MF 4.1.

Cool. Is your stopwatch sample still applicable? It uses Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.Utility.GetMachineTime().
