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…”
- WMV (WMV Video)
If you are looking to do an HTTP request at a lower level then HttpWebRequest is the class that you're looking for. Here, we take a look at doing an HTTP POST from a Silverlight application using this class.

I wont to run silverlight without having to run a ASP.NET server somewhere...
you can host silverlight on any backend (including lamp) you only have to add the mime types
Yes, agree!
Silverlight makes very little requirement as to what kind of web server it's served off ( you probably need to add the MIME type for the XAP extension ) so it can be IIS or A.N.Other web server.
Equally, it makes very little requirement about what kind of web servers you talk to whether that's via web services, WebClient, HttpWebRequest or whatever.
Generally, it "Plays Well With Others"
Mike.
