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)
Glenn Block, Program Manager working on MEF and self professed "MEF Maniac,” makes his first visit to Silverlight TV. Glenn and John set aside the code for this episode, taking a step back to discuss and explain some of the top scenarios where using MEF
adds value. If you are considering using MEF and want to know where and when it makes sense, this is an ideal episode for you to watch.

I love the way Glenn explains things, and then to top it with John's clear direction, it's just a great TV show
I'd like to get a bit more explanation about MEF in partitioning multiple Projects v.s. multiple XAPs. You guys went over that a bit too quick and deserves a better break down;
Thank you guys!
..Ben
Glenn - as always great stuff
whatiting for the next episode!
I really dig the whole 'stable composition' aspect of MEF, along with the command line static analysis that it enables - esp. when there's a lot of fine grained composition. To paraphrase Don Box: "MEF is Love".
That is the first programming video I've ever managed to sit all the way through! Thanks chaps.
I agree with Ben, great video. I look forward to future episodes.
Funny how Glenn Block made it clear he "inerited" CAB. LOL. He must know how Obama feels right now. Hopefully Obama pulls out a "Prism" this year. Anyways, good job turning that CAB around into Prism, Glenn. I'll never forgive the PnP team for CAB. LOL.
I feel the answer to switching to large Silverlight applications is to use a .aspx(Ajax)/Silverlight hybrid. Change a aspx form to Silverlight one at a time. The problem I have is with sharing the authentication system. I'd like to login with the built-in .aspx membership system and have Silverlight 'know' that I'm logged-in and use that information when I call the web services.
This is the 4th video i watch ! John you do a really good job, you make things easy to understand
I really love this show and gonna watch them all this week !
Glenn is awesome too ! Love his work and the way he talks about mef (his girl should wish that he talks about her with the same passion
)
A good point too : the video is easy to understand even if you are not english ^^
Thank you so much !
