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 MP4 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 MP4 file.
  • If you have a Windows Phone, iPhone, iPad, or Android 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…”

Bill Zack presents an Architect Point of View (arcPOV) presentation on selecting the right LINQ model for your application. Bill covers 3 different flavors of LINQ; LINQ to SQL, LINQ to Datasets, and LINQ to Entities. Bill discusses how these flavors of LINQ can be used to access data in relational databases. He then covers the differences and the trade-offs involved in choosing between them.

    You go one thing wrong:
    You said Linq to Dataset is the only one that supports change tracking.

    Linq to SQL also does. Only reason to use LINQ to Dataset is if you have a bunch of datasets laying around from ADO.NET 2.0 work.

    odujosh is absolitely correct.  The main advantage of LINQ to Datasets is if you have a lot of them because your applications already depend on them heavily.
