Without getting into motives or honesty or any of that, I have to say
I agree with Matthew. If you want to provide a side-by-side code
comparison, the two snippets should be analogous in functionality.
I've only looked at the CFEXECUTE example, but those two snippets
clearly aren't entirely analogous in functionality - there are a lot
of "dead" lines in the .NET example. There are two problems with that.
One problem is that it looks like advocacy when maybe that's not your
intent. I don't really care too much about that, but it doesn't help
your argument if that's the argument you're trying to make.

The other problem, and the one that is more serious in my opinion, is
that it doesn't tell the CF developer what is really needed. Do I
really need to import all these libraries? Why? What happens if I
don't import them? (Fortunately, I know enough C# to know which ones I
need for that example, but if I actually used that snippet as-is in
VS.NET, I'd expect that it would tag those lines with warnings that
they're not used by the code.
