It seems that extensions methods are not supported/working with the .NET Micro Framework.

Is there any way to get this usefull language feature working?

Answer 1

When you add the ExtensionAttribute class to your project you can use extension methods also in the .NET Micro Framework.

namespace System.Runtime.CompilerServices
{
    [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Assembly | AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Method)]
    public sealed class ExtensionAttribute : Attribute { }
}

To be more precise, extension methods are a compiler feature that merely relies on the existence of this attribute. – Stenographer
