I just came over this Arduino clone if I may say, it’s called NetDuino It looks almost the same as the Duemilanove board. Anyhow, you program it in Visual Studio C# Express using the .NET Micro Framework.

Netduino is an open source electronics platform using the .NET Micro Framework.

Featuring a 32-bit microcontroller and a rich development environment.

Suitable for engineers and hobbyists alike.
