How to play a song?

[hede]

Hello,

I am new to programming C# so please be patient with me.

I am trying to use Media Player to play a song from my harddrive. But I do not know which classes and such to use from the MediaPlayer dll.

Please someone help me getting along. A code example will also be much appreciated.

thnks
hede

IMLTHO, the WMP9 API sucks... Last I checked, there was no native .NET/managed API; you have to make do with the auto-generated AxInterop wrapper. Also, WMP9 has become so web-centric (and, consequently, state-free) as to make it relatively unreliable as an embedded component.

The download is bigger, but DirectX9 provides a much simpler (and more robust) audio-visual playback component, along with a native managed assembly, unlike Media Player.
