First, I suggest you experiment polling the sensor. Second, it seems to me there is a threshold potentiometer, so you should try playing with that...

You misunderstood my post because of the timingNot true, I have literally just created a jagged byte array for the project I am working on.
private byte[][] workBuffer = new byte[2][] { new byte[35], new byte[35]};
byte[,] is a multidimensional array
byte[][] is a jagged array

As far as I remember multidimensional arrays aren't implemented in .netmf but you can use jagged arrays(string[][]).

Wouldn't schimitt trigger buffers along the line keep signal integrity? You can get them for $0.06 from Mouser.

I advise you check if the assemblies Microsoft.SPOT.IO and System.IO are referenced in your project. I can't really test anything else because I don't have access to a Netduino anymore

That line was pointed as unreachable because you probably forgot the brackets, so your while true loop would repeat "controller.Write(false);" indefinitely. 
public static void Thread_5()
{
while (true)
{
controller.Write(false);
Thread.Sleep(1 * SecondMs);
controller.Write(true);
Thread.Sleep(10 * MinuteMs);
}
}
public static void Thread_6()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 14; i++)
{
Thread.Sleep(1 * DayMs);
solenoid.Write(false);
Thread.Sleep(20 * SecondMs);
solenoid.Write(true);
}
}
public static void Thread_5()
{
while (true)
{
controller.Write(false);
Thread.Sleep(1 * SecondMs);
controller.Write(true);
Thread.Sleep(10 * MinuteMs);
}
}

{

This \/ is what I meant and you are missing the {} on your loops inside thread_5 and 6. In terms of syntax I think there's nothing else to be fixed..
public const int SecondMs = 1000;
public const int MinuteMs = 60 * SecondMs;
public const int HourMs = 60 * MinuteMs;
public const int DayMs = 24 * HourMs;
public const int WeekMs = 7 * DayMs;
static OutputPort ph = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D2, true);
static OutputPort b = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D3, true);
static OutputPort a = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D4, true);
static OutputPort drain = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D5, true);
static OutputPort solenoid = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D6, true);
static OutputPort heater = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D7, true);
static OutputPort controller = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D8, true);
public static void Main()
{
drain.Write(false);
Thread.Sleep(16 * MinuteMs);
drain.Write(true);
Thread tid_1 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Thread_1));
Thread tid_2 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Thread_2));
Thread tid_3 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Thread_3));
Thread tid_4 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Thread_4));
Thread tid_5 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Thread_5));
Thread tid_6 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Thread_4));

You have declared your variables inside Main() so they only exist in that scope. Declare them like below after your consts:
you also forgot {} in Thread_5 and Thread_6
static OutputPort blahblah=new OutputPort(etcetc);
you also forgot {} in Thread_5 and Thread_6

Are you using a crossover cable from pc to netduino?Try setting a static IP that suits your network configuration and ping it to make sure it is ok.

Most likely call Debug.GC(true) before big allocations and keep your arrays small, preferably static.

What I used to do was:
-cancel deployment/compilation on VS
-disable netduino driver on Device Manager
-replug netduino into usb
-enable netduino once again
This solved BSOD issues as far as i remember.

#24653 Connecting ADXL345 (wireless)

Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)
As to my previous question about connecting ADXL345 with Netduino wireless, I found this project which seems that they managed to make this happen. see this link: My link
I don't understand what is mbed, and code seems not in C# :S
On that project there are 2 "parts":
-rover with mbed+xbee+power wires
-controller with mbed+adx345+xbee+power wires
Now, what I think you are trying to accomplish is:
-take measurements using adxl345+wireless transmitter+battery powered
-netduino receives data and sends it to computer=>netduino+wireless receiver+usb powered
Since the adxl345 talks SPI and I2C, you will need a microcontroller to interface it with your transmitter OR a transmitter with that functionality built in. Popular wireless transmitter(transceivers actually) are the xbee and the nrf24 devices from Nordic. In fact Nordic has some SoCs that already contain a programmable 8051 microcontroller.
On netduino's side, you will use the corresponding receiver and you can have it transmitting data to your pc via virtual serial port and powered using a 5V FTDI cable. Note that you will still need Netduino's built in usb connector for debugging and deployment using this approach.
I hope to have cleared some of your questions.

It is a general consensus that .netmf is not suited for real time or processing applications. It also doesn't have much memory.

The datasheet says the modules uses 3mA with backlight off and about 60mA when it is on. The transistor can handle 1A in case you want to draw current through pin 15-explained on section "Hi-Current Control Pin".It's one of the serial-enabled LCD's on sparkfun. Here's it's datasheet. I was basing the power requirement on the statement: "Backlight transistor can handle up to 1A" I see no other indications of what it would need to draw.
