Media Element source property in code behind

[pavanip]

Hi, I am developing one application in that I have more than 5 media elements. I want to assign path to media element source from database.For that I have created one silverlight application and there is a ClientBin in silverlight website, I have saved my uploaded videos in clientbin and that path in database. But from code behind if i assign the path its not showing anything. my sample code is mplayer.Source = new System.Uri(@"D:\sample\sample.Web\ClientBin\Lake.wmv", UriKind.Absolute); Can you please tell me is there any other way to assign path to source property or what is the mistake I have done in that code. Thanks in Advance Pavani

You need to use URI strings that are appropriate for where the media actually is. You're showing an absolute URI for aaa place on a hardrive - the client knows nothing about a D drive, nor does it have access to its D drive. Besides, your media is on the server, not on the client. Here's a good article that should have what you need to know: Different ways for loading images and files in Silverlight 2 applications [^]

thank you for your response.I resolved my problem by using mplayer.source=("Lake.wmv",UriKind.Relative) and I placed my video in web project ClientBin folder and directly using just video name.
