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…”
- MP3 (Audio only)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
There is more to building an application than pressing F5. MSBuild comes with the .NET Framework and is extensible. See how
Microsoft MVP Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi
extends the build process programmatically, by talking to Twitter upon a successful build. This is an incredible demo. Consistency is a good thing.
What is it? MSBuild Extensibility... this example keeps everyone updated on the status of the build via MSBuild and Twitter!
Download Site: MSBuild is included with the .NET Framework and can be installed from http://www.microsoft.com/web/
Example Problem(s) it solves:
MSBuild allows developers and build masters to completely customize their build process.
Installation Notes: Use the Web Application Installer: www.microsoft.com/web
This is the sixth of Tool Shed Tooltips released from Epsode 2 of the TV Show Russ Tool Shed presents... "It's All About The Tools" hosted by Russ Fustino and Co-Host Stan Schultes. Download code, ppt and demo script from http://code.msdn.com/toolshed for all episodes. Also, use the links on http://channel9.msdn.com/toolshed to download tools.

Very nice demo.. Please include how to run the project in the resources.. ie. the command line arg..Or please reply here.. Thanks
Hi,
First you should download the samples and build the sample solution (Sedo.MSBuild.TwitterLogger.sln). When you build it dll Sedo.MSBuild.Loggers.dll should be created. Then here is a sample command to attach the logger to the build for your project.
msbuild WindowsFormsApplication1.csproj /l:TwitterLogger,C:\temp\Sedo.MSBuild.TwitterLogger\Sedo.MSBuild.TwitterLogger\bin\Debug\Sedo.MSBuild.Loggers.dll;Username=YOUR_USER_NAME;Password=YOUR_PASSWORD
Note these things about that command
This is the name of the project being built. Since it is in the same folder path was left off
This is the path to the folder which contains the assembly just built (Sedo.MSBuild.Loggers.dll)
