Event Details

In this talk our very own Teresa Burger and Shawn Weisfeld will use a media player they recently created to talk about how to practically skin your applications and how to bind it to an OData Service for data retrieval. The talk will begin with Teresa showing us how to use Expression Blend to edit templates and modify the look and feel of existing controls. Then Shawn will show us how to expose your video library using an OData service and consume it in the Silverlight Media Player.
