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…”

In this video, Bob explains how to define reusable definitions for brushes (color, gradients, and images) throughout either a single page or the entire site, as well as how to combine collections of name / value pairs for a given control in order to give your application a consistent look and feel.

    Everything works right up to running the app at the very end (with the style in the App.xaml page). At this point the app begins but then throws up "XAMLParseException occurred". It says that the static resource I created (JonnosStyle) is out of range. Any idea why this is?

    Good video. Nice way to keep the colour scheme of your programs consistant.

    Very Nice approach. Thank you very much.

    @Jonno:In the current release theme resources are not stored under App.xaml.

    After changing the background and accent color, the page arrow "disappears". It's color does not change with the change of the background color and therefore it "disappears". How do you manage the color of the page arrow so that it does not "disappear" when the background color is chaged from dark to light?
