I am setting up a Netduino project on a new machine and installed the .NET MF 4.2 SDK from the Netduino Downloads page (http://cdn.netduino....ETMF42_QFE2.msi).  Everything looks good, but now when I try to use the HttpWebRequest class, I can't find it.  I have referenced System.dll, and it has a Net namespace, but no HttpWebRequest.  

I feel like I have encountered this issue before, but can't remember how I got around it.  Has anyone else experienced this and have a solution? 

UPDATE:

Okay, I referenced System.Http and that worked.  But I don't remember having to use that assembly before.

Is there a convenient way to convert an enum value to a string?  I'm accustomed to using .ToString() in the regular framework but it looks like it's returning the numeric counterpart in micro.  

I have a web server with a socket that accepts requests on a separate thread.  the Accept method blocks until it receives a request.  I would like to know if there is a clean way to interrupt the socket so that the web server can be stopped at any time.  

Currently, I call Socket.Close() in a method on the main thread which causes the socket to throw a SocketException.  

I have a basic run-of-the-mill Netduino at the moment, but am considering buying a Netduino Plus 2.  I was just wondering if there are any new models coming out soon, so maybe I should hold off.  

Is there any news on a Netduino Plus 3 or other newer controllers?
