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)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- WMV (WMV Video)

Not only does this video provide you with a great overview of WPF 3.5 SP1, but it is kicking off
WPF Week on Channel 9.
Each day this week we’ll be publishing a video focused on one area of WPF to give you a detailed look at what’s new.

Jumped right into it.
Sorry for the confusion,
Ian.
So the versioning might seem a little bit odd, but of course WPF is part of the larger .NET Framework and thus doesn't have it's own version numbers.
lot's of good stuff in them bits...
now just gotta wait for them to bake and cool off to use them
I have an app on 60 desktops that I want to move from .net 2.0 to 3.5 soon... must find out if the boot strap will work for a low-trust user account ??
I just posted and if not covered in the video:
Can a non-admin user who does not have full access but has a .net 2.0 app today get an update that will boot-strap to .net 3.5 and then get the app w/o an admin logon??
it's a click once app on about 60 pc's that are in remote locations.
if an admin login is required then it will take days to update them.
so to recap:
can I boot-strap from a click once app with net 2.0 to a new version of the app with .net 3.5 with a limited user account?
Looks like DBPro's not getting any love
By adding new features in a service pack, you'll generate potential confusion. I'll say my app requires .NET 3.5, but then I'm using some SP1 features, then my client installs the app and it doesn't work because they don't have SP1 installed.
I can understand improving performace in a service pack, but why add new features to a service pack? Why not release them in a feature pack, like how the ASP.NET team did with the ASP.NET AJAX Extensions v1.0?
I do appreciate the confusion though so this is definitely something we'll re-think for future versions. Do other folks agree we should keep things separate in the future?
Thanks,
Ian.
Unfortunately not. This update at least makes some core changes and so requires admin privs. We definitely get this request *a lot* though and it is something we're moving towards (it's just really hard to engineer).
Sorry,
Ian.
The only criticism I have, is when the controls are released. Tim uses the euphemism "out-of-band" in his blog, but also states that Line Of Business applications are taking up WPF rapaciously.
Why the silverlight beta included the datagrid, but this does not is a mystery? I need to get compos-mentes with this control (and the ribbon) for my smart client applications, but am having to wait.
One cannot diminish the phenomenal improvements to a plethora of issues that have kept me in windows forms for LOB applications. If you try the piteous WPF controls from e.g. http://www.componentone.com/ staying with windows forms becomes the easiest of decisions. Forget about a dog running with three legs, more a dog with half a leg. For now it will be another 3 to 6 months till some of the essential controls become available. What a shame!
I understand the issues,
Please If we can get more info on what it can/can't do etc...
for example can we setup a "reboot" / "runOnce" to do that perhaps?
sweeet
i have one question though, where exactly do you post feedback? the msdn forums are vast and im always feeling im posting in the wrong place
is there a prefered place there? or is connect the way to go? i havent found a connect project for .net or wpf as
a whole (if there is one please link 
)
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (Beta) does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your system. Please click the link below for more details.
So i can't click NEXT
UPDATE:
Fixed it, had to uninstall Silverlight Tools Beta 1 (got to love those bèta's) and uninstall KB949325
I'm not entirely sure, let me check and get back to you. Around here we do distribute admin-level software using SMS to machines that are locked-down so I know it's possible but I don't know how it works!
Ian.
I'd be a little carefull with any beta software and I know some folks have had issues uninstalling. For me, it's worked just fine so it might for you too but I always recommend a VPC, or a complete backup just in case!
Ian.
General feedback here is just fine. For more specific feedback on VS you can use http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=2136&SiteID=1 or for WPF specifically just use the regular WPF forum http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=119&SiteID=1 and maybe put "SP1" somewhere in the title.
For connect, we come under the general "Visual Studio and .Net Framework" at http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio
Thanks,
Ian.
I would suggest a better describing name.
Why don't you call a ServicePack 'SP<number>' (SP1) and a feature pack 'FP<number>' (FP1) and when combined 'UP<number>' (UP1) where UP stands for update pack.[A]
We use this system for a while now and it's (for us...) quite clear.
