As part of their announcement that Visual Studio Express will be permanently
free MS has released a .NET interface for the RCX.
You can find details about it on their Coding4Fun site:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/coding4fun/lego/default.aspx
It’s designed for integrated solutions (solutions that use a PC to control the
RCX in real-time) as opposed to the typical compile/download/run on the RCX
solutions.

resources (including LUGNET) and a nice little plug for the NXT. It also
implies there will be continuing updates/news regarding developing .NET apps
for the Mindstorms system, so I can only assume something will be available
for the NXT.
The Sample LEGO Applications video shows a few examples of what can be done
and how to do it.
Thanks to Paul Langille for pointing this out to me.

I tried the VB version first and found that the C4F.LegoRcx.dll that wraps Ghost for .Net access could not be loaded because it had dependencies on msvcr80d.dll and msvcm80d.dll files.
