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)
Karl Shifflett brought one of his favorite Hawaiian shirts and his
XAML Power Toys
in to the studio and it was time to play. Karl demonstrates how to use his Visual Studio Add-In to instantly generate forms for Line of Business applications.
Since the filming of this video Karl has since updated XAML Power Toys to now support Silverlight 2 as well as WPF. Karl has also recorded 11 videos of his own (available half way down the XAML Power Toys page) to help you get started with this useful and customizable tool.

Will this work in the Express editions?
I just finished watching the video and this tool is AWESOME!
Edit: not meant as a reply to ecofriend..
On the other hand, I think that whoever edited the video needs to understand that there is zero interest in watching two guys staring at a laptop, and FAR more interest in what is actually going on in the screen of that laptop. After the typing began and before the final "goodbyes", I was extremely frustrated as he did who knows what to actually create the XAML because I was looking at him talking about it rather than the screen when that occurred. Ditto for lots of other key points in the demo. There was never a point where I was really curious about what it looked like to see them talking, so keep the camera on the screen please.
I did edit the video in hotel room with trial software that I haven't used before (and won't be using again). Of the 24-minute demo, 8 minutes and 26 seconds actually showed the talking heads in question. The timing may be questionable depending on your perspective and it sounds like you would love to see Karl's screencasts which are only code. Hopefully you've found them by now on the XAML Power Toys page (halfway down)
Sorry, but Visual Studio Add-In's, do not run on the Express Editions of Visual Studio.
Once I publish Ocean, you will be able to do almost everything, even in Express Editions of VS.
Keep on eye on my blog for Ocean.
Cheers,
Karl
And Hurray for VB
Not mentioned enough in my opinion

Thank you for your kind works on XAML Power Toys, I'll pass this along.
I'm a VB

Features like this are what is keeping most windows forms developers away from WPF, and people are right in saying WPF in VS 2010 will be like windows forms in 2005.
I am fast running out of excuses to not use WPF.
Thank you for your very kind words on XAML Power Toys.
WPF is the BOMB. I have loved WPF from the fist time I looked at it.
No turning back!
Cheers,
Karl
