LOL This is such a typical reaction from someone coming from the .NET Framework. Part of the.NET CF team's design philosophy is simple: if there's an easy work around, they won't provide the feature. For the record, WaitHandle.WaitAny() is still unsupported in .NET CF 3.5. If you don't want to have to write the P/Invoke calls yourself, you can always use the Smart Device Framework, which does this for you already. Our implementation of WaitHandle (namely, OpenNETCF.Threading.EventWaitHandle) supports 4 overloads of WaitAny(). I hate to plug our products on here, but there is a free of charge version :)

I'm amazed that even after all this discussion, you still have yet to take the intiative propose a solid, constructive solution. Maybe you're just apathetic. Afterall, by your own admission, "... no one wants to do the dirty work.

BTW, it's Mono, not MONO :) I'm not the one taking this personally. You are. You're miffed because after a year, no one was implemented the class you need. Did you attempt to implement it yourself? Probably not. You seem to be missing the point of one the core principles of Open Source -- growth is achieved through community contribution. Not once in this thread have I seen you say anything along the lines of "Hey, something is not quite right here. Let's get together and do something about it", which would be in the spirit of the Open Source movement. Have you reported these facts back to the Mono community? I'd say that would be a better course of action.

There's an old saying, "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." If you have issues with the "fundamentals" not being present in Mono, why don't you implement them yourself and contribute them back to the community instead of moaning?

"Turned out that most ".net" libraries on the market make heavy use of P/Invokes to work." Actually, the .NET Framework makes heavy of P/Invoke too. Are you going to slam that too while your on a roll?

You got my vote on that too. The true nature of Open Source is that if it's broken, *YOU* can fix it. So get your tool belt on and start hammering.
