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?

In this exercise, you will modify the host application to run your SayHello activity with
WorkflowApplication and observe the threading behavior. You now have two requirements for your workflow.

  1. Return a personalized greeting
  2. Generate the personalized greeting on background thread

Using the "test first" approach, you will begin by writing a test that verifies your new requirement for the generating the greeting on a background thread.
