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…”

In this screencast, I'll show some strategies when working with Azure webroles and handling settings -- particularly connection strings -- in both the ServiceConfiguration and web.config files.  Traditionally, we've always used the web.config for all of our website settings.  While we can do that in the cloud, all files (including the web.config) are read-only as part of the deployment; in order to change them, we'd need to redeploy our application.  The goal, then, is to migrate key settings to the ServiceConfiguration file.  For some settings -- particularly SQL Membership Provider connection strings -- this can be challenging but not impossible!
