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…”
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
In this C9 Byte, Alex Turner walks through how the C# language has evolved between version 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 for working with data structures. If you don't know Alex, he's the guy that got
Anders Hejlsberg to pay him $202 when he was an intern.

My laptop is always set up like that with everything as large black text on white so people can easily see output from the back of the room.
It's pretty easy to do... when you're in a console window, click the Title Bar icon in the upper-left and choose Properties, and then go to the Colors tab. From there you can mess with the foreground and background colors.
The other trick I use when showing people console output is to hit Ctrl-F5 instead of F5 to run without debugging. This automatically ends the program with the "Press any key to continue . . ." without having to put Console.ReadLine() in at the end
Coincidentally, this video had an excellent demonstration of how IntelliSense can screw you up when you try to enter lambda expressions in C#. When Alex tried to enter c => c.City == "London", IntelliSense "helpfully" suggested case even though it makes no sense to enter the case keyword at that point (he wasn't even in a switch statement). I'm learning to hit Esc to cancel the IntelliSense, but I would prefer not having to do so. Please fix this.
