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 Part II of this two part screencast, Microsoft Federal Developer Evangelist Marc Schweigert demonstrates how ASP.NET Atlas abstracts the complexities of AJAX programming and provides a new set of tools to your developer toolbox to build
richer, more engaging web user interfaces. You'll see how much easier it is to build the solution from
Part I using ASP.NET Atlas.
This screencast was inspired by various tutorials and walkthroughs from the following:

The source code for this screencast is available

Is there a way to place a pushpin where you click using Atlas Declarative Syntax like you had in part 1 ?
Does the Atlas library implement all of Virtual Earth's API ? Is is documented anywhere ?
Thanks very much.
What software application are you using to record your screencast?
There isn't any public documentation for the Atlas VE control (that I know of). I used the JavaScript source code and some samples other folks posted on the web. Having looked at the source code, I don't believe the Atlas VE control has as much capability as using the JavaScript library from the VE team. We should see more in future builds.
I just came across this today...
You'll see the properties, methods, and events for the control.
these demos start with a htm page not an aspx. Can you comment on that.
Thanks

For example, I would like to display the coordinates where the pointer position is as the mouse is moved around the map. How to do this using Atlas ?
Do you know you can create routes in VE, but is their a mapping control that will enable you to plot distrance travel and overlay that with either a push pin along that route. I have not been able to find any documentation on it.
I would love to use this technique on a Log/Journal I am creating as a motivation tool. Kids love kewl new things like this and I would love to know how to do this.
The only downside is that the Sys.UI.VirtualEarthMap is a Client Side JavaScript object. Where's the Server Side Virtual Earth Control??
I started one; it's in it's very early stages right now.
Check it out: ASP.NET Virtual Earth Custom Server Control
