Experiences programming with the .NET Micro Framework

A company I consult for is looking, at my urging, to switch to devices powered by the .NET Micro Framework, so that we can bring devices to the market faster. The idea, in theory at least, is that coding in C# rather than C or assembly will be much faster and less bug prone. Like I said, this all theory, as I've never programmed an embe...

You are not so tough without your car. Fastest lookup list.

Such as: void foo(object o) { switch (Type.GetTypeCode(o.GetType())) { ...

How would you split by \r\n if String.Split(String[]) did not exist?

Using the .NET MicroFramework which is a really cut-down version of C#. For instance, System.String barely has any of the goodies that we've enjoyed over the years.
