P.S. Since this is my first experience with Netduino, I figured it was normal for the deployment to take ~20-30 seconds and then another ~29-30 seconds for the application to be active/usable (using VS 2012, NETMF 4.3). Can anyone else confirm whether this is to be expected? Is it faster in VS 2010?

Thanks, in advance.

I, too, am having terrible luck with VS2012, NETMF 4.3 and N+2. I'm trying to access the SD directory, and it takes approximately 30 seconds per call to System.IO for each of the namespaces/classes to be stepped into. At this rate, it's not a matter of inconvenience but rather it's a total show stopper. I'm very new to Netduino, so I unfortunately can't offer any advice yet. But, if I hear or figure out something, I'll be sure to post. Please do the same.
