Simple way to play audio/video file in form?
-
Enable user to play audio or video of their choice... is there some namespace that deal with this?
No. You need to use the windows media player control, or involve the DirectShow platform, which requires the PSDK. Are you an Iron Maiden/Black Sabbath fan, or does your name mean something else ?

In .NET 2 I think there's a SoundPlayer [^]component that you can drop onto a form.

I saw Maiden in Toronto - awesome. DirectShow is in the platform SDK. Intuitive, no ? The WMP control is actually more code, but you have it already. Just google, there are plenty of samples out there for both. The DirectShow comes with samples, too, but it's pretty self explanatory.

[ot]Never seen Maiden live, last time they were here I was 7... so that was long time ago actually, now they promise each year they will come but always miss our country for some reason (mostly local promoter don't have enough money to pay in advance, event though I'm sure it would be great concert, every 2nd kid in town during summer have IM T-shirt, so go figure)...[/ot] Thing I seen on local MS presentation was, guy dragged button on form, and written simple event that opened and played media (audio) file from disc on click... but I guess it was just System.Media.SoundPlayer call (and at least to documentation it only play wav)... so not much use of that... anyway I'll go for second solution I guess... I'll return later if I can't figure out how to do it... ;P :) BTW visit this www.ironmaiden.co.sr not in English... but anyway...

You need to right click on the toolbox and choose 'change items' or something, and you get a list, from there you can add WMP to the toolbox. Then, you can indeed drag it onto a form.

I believe the control has a Url property, it has something like that, which you can point to a file, and it will just play it. It has a property call CtlControls, or something, under that are methods like play, pause, stop.

This work, I guess that is best solution, what is minimal version of MP that user should have in order this to run? Does it work on 2000/ME/98? does 2.0 run at all on 9x systems? how about 3.0?

.NET 2.0 requires 2000, and 3.0 requires XP.
