Transmit Interrupt
Starting with the TransmitBasic sample application I modified the code so that a hardware interrupt (specified by SX1276 RegDioMapping1) was generated on TxDone (FIFO Payload Transmission completed).
The application inserts a message into the SX1276 transmit FIFO every 10 seconds with confirmation of transmission displayed shortly afterwards

Unlike the Windows 10 IoT core version I can configure the interrupt to only trigger on the leading edge.
InterruptPin = new InterruptPort(interruptPin, false, Port.ResistorMode.Disabled, Port.InterruptMode.InterruptEdgeHigh);
In the Debug output window of VS2K12 I could see
The thread '' (0x2) has exited with code 0 (0x0). Sending 19 bytes message Hello NetMF LoRa! 0 RegIrqFlags 08 Transmit-Done Sending 20 bytes message Hello NetMF LoRa! -1 RegIrqFlags 08 Transmit-Done Sending 20 bytes message Hello NetMF LoRa! -2 RegIrqFlags 08 Transmit-Done
On my Arduino device the message arrived
LoRa Receiver Callback Received packet 'Hello NetMF LoRa! 0' with RSSI -29 Received packet 'Hello NetMF LoRa! -1' with RSSI -29 Received packet 'Hello NetMF LoRa! -2' with RSSI -29 Received packet 'Hello NetMF LoRa! -3' with RSSI -29 Received packet 'Hello NetMF LoRa! -4' with RSSI -29
