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…”
- WMV (WMV Video)

Bar Code Blitz
Length: 5:05
Shown at PDC05: Yes
Lorin and Lawrence set out on a project to make bar codes appear on web pages. Techniques demonstrated include use of the new Generic Handler template in Visual Studio 2005 and the use of GDI+ to dynamically render a GIF image. The code for the bar code solution shown in the video supports two common standards: 3 of 9 for text, and 2 of 5 codes for numeric.

For those interested in the source code, it's available for download in a .ZIP from that site. It will do both 3 of 9 and also 2 of 5 codes.
