PDC Downloader – Major Bug Fix

Unfortunately the PDC Sessions file the application was using had some corrupted session codes, which meant these sessions could not actually be downloaded. A work mate of mine (Robin Prosch) luckily brought it to my attention (Thanks!).

In order to side step this, the application goes to http://micrsoftpdc.com/videos to get the available sessions and the downloads should now work correctly. I highly recommend getting this update if you want to download any of the affected sessions (there are quite a few!).

The application start up time has taken a couple of seconds hit but its well worth it for getting an up to date list of sessions (and correct!), although I don’t think its likely to change at this point.

Sincere apologies for this one, I wish I’d spotted it sooner!

  2. If it falls over it will usually put an exception log out in Logs/date.log. If you copy paste the logs out I can take a look :)

  3. Hi Naeem,
    The error is caused by the program referencing an old version of System.Threading.dll. I found the old version of it online and the program works now. Please include the assembly or update its reference.

    By the way, this program does exactly what I need it to. Thank you for your effort!

    Thanks,
    Sam

  5. Thanks for spotting that Sam, a new version has been pushed out for anyone who hasn't got the library installed! Glad to hear your finding it useful, made my day :-)

    Evilshrike - the latest version (update 6) should hopefully work for you!
