Is anyone on the site in the beta for MonoTouch? What issues have you been seeing with it?
I personally have found it a very nice little system and have just made a small test app with it. The test app seems to startup slowly, but it works on my device so I am happy to be using C# on the iPhone.
If you have access to the monotouch mailing list you will find lots of useful information.
I for one found a couple of issues, mainly with the Interface Builder generating the C# code.
another one was an issue with MapKit where the app crashes.
Constant conversation on issues and ways to work around it are in the list and in #monotouch on the GIMP irc network.
Monotouch:

It's also using ZXing.Net.Mobile.MonoTouch
I just loved it.
I don't know much about beta version. I bought the professional license and I am happy with that. It's impressive how fast I can get things running on C#. These 2 games are retina ready and optimized for iPhone 5.

I have done some digging and poking and have come up short. I am looking for a freeware tool that I can give to my users to set Large Address Aware after I have given my application.
Background:
I work on a piece of software that has ~500 users. A small number (maybe 25?) of these users are running into memory problems when doing multiple large searches. The application is 32bit and is being run on everything from Win XP machines with 2 gigs of ram (if they are lucky) to users who are running 64bit Windows 7 with 4+ gigs of ram.
My team considered setting LAA after compile using the post build events, but a few of the websites I came across said there could be problems on older systems. If this information is wrong though and it would work with the old (small amount of ram) machines I wouldn't need the tool.
Thanks all.
Personally I like CFF Explorer. It can mark programs LAA as well as a ton of other features.

We will be starting a new project which will involve training all the .net developers in Java (frameworks/ECO system etc). We have a lot of code written in C# and it seems that all of this will be wasted as we have to re-write it all in Java. The problem I see is that the first year or so (probably 2 years) we will have nothing to deliver as we will spend most of the time reproducing what we had before but now in Java.
Since our team is distributed in different offices around the world and we have a large number of java developers (20 to 30) and 10 developers using .net, we want to get all the developers using the same language/platform so we can start to reuse components/modules. So I can understand managements point of view.
Yesterday I came across Scala and was wondering if it would be better to use this with the current product (which is written in C#) and then at least we will have a working product in a year. Also in a year we have modules that can be used in the Java world whilst we migrate other parts of the product.
Would this work?

David Pollak wrote a couple of blog posts about this very recently. His opinion was very clear that your team would be a very poor choice for Scala.

Hey guys, I'm starting the development of a native iPhone app which will implement a chat interface. So far the implementation seems to be pretty complicated, I've read of Websockets, XMPP/Jabber and raw TCP/IP sockets, but have no idea which to use. The client will be programmed in Objective-C, and I would like to program the server in C# (and not have to pay $100/month for a hosting service).
What would you guys suggest?
I would suggest using something like XMPP/Jabber as there are already a ton of libraries in existence for pretty much every language under the sun. That would allow you to focus on the unique aspects of your app rather than having to worry about implementing a protocol. Check out the XMPP website for a list of libraries for both clients and servers.
With regards to hosting, C# might be difficult to find free hosting simply because it requires a Windows installation which requires a non-free license. You can find cheap Windows hosting through somebody like GoDaddy, but you won't be able to find free (at least I doubt it).

Need to do a remote image capture from a "prosumer" camera into a C#/.NET app (for capturing pics at a higher resolution and more control than a webcam).
Any advantage for Canon vs. Nikon remote capture SDK's? Is one better supported than another? Looking for a developer perspective before embarking on this one...
I looked at both SDK's when I was picking out cameras. I ended up going with the Canon EOS 50D and their EDSDK. Canon has a wrapper class in their code with all the P/Invoke ready for you to use. That was the primary reason I used it. Some of the P/Invoke types are a little odd. I had issues with figuring out some object reference types needed to be casted to some internal structures... Lot's of trial and error. Eventually I got it to work, and it works well. I have live image capture and static image capture working for it.
I'm sorry I cannot speak for Nikon's SDK. I just chose Canon's because the P/Invoke was already there. The downside to EDSDK is it only works with the EOS line.
Here is some more information.

Time bomb needed in asp.net application
I've done developing my app in C#. I need some info of how I can implement 'trial' functionality for my app (I want to let the user use the app for 30 day for example)
Take a look at these tools:
.NET Licensing Pro
SerialShield SDK
PC Guard
Maxtocode
DeployLX Licensing
There are a lot of good answer in this question
Time bomb needed in ASP.NET application
There's also the solutions from Xheo, in particular DeployLX.
A specific commercial solution I've used is from Aladdin. They offer a USB dongle or a "software dongle" that allows you to pick and choose what features are enabled/disabled. The USB dongles even come with a battery-operated clock sealed in them so that gaming the system clock doesn't get around your protection.
Some people may say that any system like this can be broken. This is true. However, I've found Aladdin tools can be used to make cracking very difficult. Pair that with improving your protection on subsequent releases and what you get is a product that takes a lot of time and effort (cost) to break.
There's a related discussion on this SO question: Software evaluation licensing.
You can also check LicenseSpot which gives you the ability to control the license via the online license manager with activation, revoking and trial extensions.
