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)
In this episode, Adam Kinney demonstrates how to take advantage of behaviors in Expression Blend 4. He creates several demonstrations using the new DataStore and conditional behavior features in concert with several new behaviors including ChangePropertyAction, ControlStoryBoardAction,
SetDataStoreValueAction, and the custom Mouse3DBehavior. Adam also shows how to create a custom behavior using code. Don't miss this episode as Adam discusses how behaviors can make the UI developer's job much easier.

Thanks. This really makes me want to dig into creating my own custom 'B'ehaviors. Great job!
That's all great, but where's my FluidBindProperty behavior? It was in Blend 3 samples, but there's no source for the samples so I can't use it in SL4? Will there be a new version of the samples? With source this time?
Thanks.

Can you please tell us where we can get the source for Oliver Stark's custom behavior? Thanks.
DataArtist - Sure. Here is a link to Oliver Stark's post on the Mouse3DBehavior: http://the-oliver.com/2010/03/26/daily-demo-silverlight-mouse-3d-behavior/
Thanks for providing the link to Oliver Stark's post and access to his source. It would be great to have additional coverage on behaviors.
The source for the v3 FluidBindProperty behavior si available here: http://expressionblend.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/28511#494865"> http://expressionblend.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/28511#494865
Expect to see more updates to the http://expressionblend.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/28511#494865"> http://expressionblend.codeplex.com/ site after the Expression Studio v4 launch!
Thanks Adam. I have actually built a SL4 version by using the code for FluidBindBehavior and related classes but couldn't get it to work. I'll see what happens with the launch tomorrow?
Thanks again.
