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…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
In this interview John Hart, QA Lead on the Visual Basic Team, shows us the new DataRepeater control that has just been added to the latest
Power Packs release
on the Visual Basic Developer Center.
Power Packs are free Add-Ins, Controls, Components, and Tools for you to use with Visual Basic to make developing applications even easier.
The new DataRepeater control allows you use standard Windows Forms controls to display rows of your data in a scrollable container giving you more flexibility and customization than standard grid controls.
Enjoy,
-Beth Massi, Visual Studio Community

The data repeater is cool -- I'm glad it was added to the power pack. It solves an immediate problem I have with displaying information from a database on a user form.
It would be nice to have this available for an ASP.NET web form. I thought I heard John or Beth mention that it was only available for Windows Forms.
I'd like to know more about those nifty "weather demo components" that were displayed in John's VS toolbox.
Can we get a download link for this project or another example project ?
Cool... I'm comparing DataRepeater control with PowerBuilder DataWindow control. DataWindow control allow user can edit data at runtime and also we can take printout as-is. Why Microsoft not yet develop like DataWindow control? For ex, If I populate employee details in DataRepeater control and I need any printout means, I needs to create report. So it is double work. But in DataWindow control has print properties.
