I'll fix it and re-upload soon.
Skins for WPF and Silverlight
Jun 29, 2009 at 3:55 PMCool, thanks for your comments. I too was quite confused about styles vs. templates when I first started working with the system. Blend makes it easy, but it also blurs the lines. For example, when you right-click on a button and choose to edit the template, Blend automatically creates a style with a template in it. This makes sense because templates are normally applied using styles and styles allow you to change attributes on the parent. But it isn't really clear why you said you wanted to edit a template and a style was created as well.
Thanks for watching!

Feb 21, 2008 at 10:24 AMI think that's a very interesting and worthwhile effort. Have you thought about making your player in Silverlight?
The player on Channel9 is Silverlight, so the WMV files there are already perfect for streaming and wouldn’t need to be downloaded. The Ajax MediaPlayer control that’s part of the ASP.Net 3.5 Extensions has built in support for time-based subtitles. Or alternatively, with Silverlight 2.0, you could also easily write this in C#. And you’d have easy access to call web services or WCF services back to your transcript repository.
Best yet, you can use Silverlight Streaming to host your player and get free high bandwidth distribution worldwide.
I'll try to contact you through your blog. Let's not distract the discussion from the webcast.
