I'm Italian so sorry for my (bad) English
I have to do a race timer but I want controll it in the winform app, through the USB, and by photocell. For Example if I press a button (in the application) the timer have to start, and in the WinForm app I have to see the time of the lap, because I have to put the timer in a huge monitor for horse races.
So with this application I can "save" all the time about all runners od the race, and I can dwaw up a standings, and the audience can see the standings in the monitor.
What I have to do is to communicate to the NetDuino through the winfor application, and the NetDuino have to transmit the data in the application so I can save and show all the information about the race, and, of course, show the chronometer about each lap.
I have already understand that the last version of Microframework (sdk 3.0) supports the USB communicating protocol, but because I'm a newbie I want some help an guidelines about the argument, and, If possible, some example codes.
I apriciate your help,
Thank You!!!

Rest assured, your English is better than my Italian.I'm Italian so sorry for my (bad) English
I forgot that I had actually written about this a while ago. I did this using a FTDI cable to convert the USB to serial. The example can be found here.

So I have to buy the serial/usb cable to develop and debug the application, and I have to use the USB to controll the application, right?

As you can read in the link Nevyn posted "Plugging this cable into the PC installed new drivers (on Windows 7) and created a new COM port for me."
So you don't "talk" with the Netduino over USB, but via "simulated" serial communication.
