Hello guys.....title says it all. How can we make a database of music and access it using vb.net or C#.net?? :confused:

Buy a Database book or copy one of these: Google[^]

This is not what I was talking about. Lets suppose that i wanna make my own media player. In this case, I will need to access the music from my own hard disk and make a playlist.....

Your title says "Music Database", and your first entry states "Hello guys.....title says it all.", so which is it to be? If you have no interest in creating a music database then try and make your question clearer. To make a playlist you need to scan all your music files, extracting the title, composer, orchestra etc information and building some sort of database which your media player can access. If you think a database is too much work you can use any alternative file type that you feel comfortable with.

Which database are you speaking of? I can think of two options: 1. Saving the path of the music files in the database and then loading the files in the player from that path. 2. Saving the file as a Blob in the database and reading and playing them through your app.

You did not talk about anything - you were hoping that someone would give you their work without you lifting a finger. This is an easily found site that will do half of the work for you, if you can find the library you need to work from: Database Models[^] Edit you can also follow the instructions here: MSDN[^]

Thanx for sharing info about MSDN link....but i dont know why poeple over-react. I did not meant that someone will give his knowledge to me,without my finger raised ....and stuff like that you wrote. If person A asks person B...it already means that person B might have more knowledge than person A, and showing respect to person B. Can I do anything to your knowledge except asking you? The only option remains is not to ask from you but from someone else.

It is good form to show what you have tried, or even describe the solution that you "think" may be along the right lines. Unfortunately, you did neither. Therefore it is difficult for anyone to answer your question - we are not mind readers. (My first reply to you was to useless information because that is what I had to go on.) If you had said in the op that you had looked at various sites and MSDN then the response would have been warmer. It did appear however that you did neither.
