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…”

Almost every WPF, Silverlight and WP7 developer uses Visual Studio from an MSDN subscription. Although Expression Blend is available through the same MSDN subscription, a lot of developers do not use it and write a lot of XAML by hand. Besides drawing a UI,  Expression Blend provides much more.

In this session I show you how you can use sample data to monitor the impact data has on your UI. User actions and the state of the data often have an impact on the properties of the controls. Again, this can solved in Expression Blend using the Visual State Manager. Additionally, I show how you can use Behaviors, Actions, and Triggers. I mix in a lot of tips and tricks throughout the demos.
