How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”

Introduction: Learn how to program Custom Task Panes and the Actions Pane. If you are a managed developer (e.g. Windows Forms) then you'll find that you already have the skills for extending Microsoft Office applications with your code. Visual
Studio 2008 makes it really easy and that is what I demonstrate in this 14' video. For other resources, start at my
blog post here.
Video download: Click on the image to play the video (from a streaming file). If you'd prefer to download the wmv packaged in a zip file, you may do so
here.

Hi Syed
Please accept my apologies for this.
The Microsoft download servers are experiencing some difficulties which are under investigation
. I have reported this issue and expect it to be resolved tomorrow. Ping me directly if it isn't.
Cheers

Only this one has downloaded intact, in my experience:

Very good work, I'm hooked to your blog now.
Thank you, D. Moth.
Please allow me to clarify. For all my videos video there are 2 links per each:
1. One is a streaming video (mms) that is also embedded on the page.
2. The other is a link to a ZIP that contains a wmv. This link appears in the text that I write on the side (under the Introduction section).
There is an issue with the streaming servers which results in intermittent success. In other words, sometimes the link works and sometimes it doesn't
The ZIP download however is fine. I have just verified this for all the videos you pointed to. If you are experiencing difficulty with any of the ZIP downloads please email me directly and I will look into it.
Thanks again for reporting this and stay tuned
Cheers
Daniel
Daniel,
First of all, thank you for your videos - they have been very beneficial to me.
Would it be possible to use an action pane to insert a data bound Content Control onto a document? What I have in mind is a list of buttons on the Action pane (e.g. Name, Address, Phone, etc.) When the button is clicked it would insert a data bound content control that ties back to a customXML file. Using this model, my users could create whatever document thay like and insert values wherever they like and I can populate those documents using XML files. Example:
Dear <<FirstNameContentControlHere>>,
Thanks again!!!

Hi Chip
Thanks. Sorry, I don't have the answer to your question, but posting at the VSTO forums will take you further:
