How do I download the videos?

Why should I download videos from Channel9?

- 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…”

Welcome to the latest video in the weekly WF/WCF Screencast series.
In this short video, CSD MVP Matt Milner from PluralSight guides the viewer through how to create a custom activity in Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) that can be used in WF workflows. To do this, we create a new class that inherits from Activity and has some properties. We then use this activity in a basic sequential workflow (for more information,).
Along the way, Matt explains the Execute method and some basics of the ActivityExecutionStatus.
For additional information on WF, please check out the WF Dev Center on MSDN and the .NET Endpoint team blog. For more information on classes offered by Aaron and the PluralSight folks, check out their catalog of instructor led courses and new online courses that cover a variety of Microsoft technologies, ranging from .NET v3.5 to WSS to BizTalk server.
