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…”

Since you'll often be working with user-inputted data when writing Silverlight applications for the Windows Phone 7, Bob walks you through some common String manipulation features of the .NET Framework Class Library's String class and StringBuilder class to help you parse, format, manipulate, concatenate and evaluate string data.

    Good video, but ctrl + . does nothing for me after I type stringBuilder. Did I do something wrong? I did it immediately after I typed it.

    Edit: I found it, I didnt have a capital S at the start. Doh!

    I'd recommend Kathy Kam's .NET format string 101 on her MSDN blog as a reference.

    @Mintydog: a nice little trick you can do is control + space and intellisense will help correct that for you! 

  • MichaelMichael

    Is there any reason why mine didn't put commas and decimal places into the number sequence or the $ sign? Where can I change that?

  • Clint RutkasClint I'm a "developer"

    @Michael: can you paste your line of code that does the string.format?  That would help me figure out what happened.

  • haibohaibo

    the "control + ." key never works for me. i spent 10 minuts to try and nothing happened.
    what is going on in this program?

  • haibohaibo

    here is my code.
    StringBuilder
