Media Player Application using Windows Media Player in C#

[Bitch]

In this tutorial, I will teach you how to create a program that will open, play, and stop a windows media player application in C#.


So, now let's start this tutorial!

1. Let's start with creating a Windows Form Application for this tutorial by following the following steps in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010: Go to File, click New Project, and choose Windows Application.

2. Add three buttons in your Form such as Choose File, Play, and Stop button; add also one textbox for the filename.

Then right click anywhere on the toolbox and click "Choose Items".

Right click the project to add reference.

And then on the COM tab, choose Windows Media Player.

Then click the windows media player in the toolbox and put it inside the form.

3. Now, have this code below inside the button1 as your browsing of files button.

1. private
   
   void
   
   button1_Click(
   
   object
   
   sender, EventArgs e)
   
2. {
   
3. //get the filename of the choosen file
   
4. OpenFileDialog opf =
   
   new
   
   OpenFileDialog(
   
   )
   
   ;
   
5. if
   
   (
   
   opf.
   
   ShowDialog
   
   (
   
   )
   
   ==
   
   DialogResult.
   
   OK
   
   )
   
6. {
   
7. //display the filename on the textbox
   
8. textBox1.
   
   Text
   
   =
   
   opf.
   
   FileName
   
   ;
   
9. }
   
10. }
    

In the Play button, have also this code:

1. private
   
   void
   
   button2_Click(
   
   object
   
   sender, EventArgs e)
   
2. {
   
3. //get the filename and will be equal to the URL of the media player
   
4. axWindowsMediaPlayer1.
   
   URL
   
   =
   
   textBox1.
   
   Text
   
   ;
   
5. //play the file
   
6. axWindowsMediaPlayer1.
   
   Ctlcontrols
   
   .
   
   play
   
   (
   
   )
   
   ;
   
7. 
   
8. }
   

And in the Stop button, copy this code:

1. private
   
   void
   
   button3_Click(
   
   object
   
   sender, EventArgs e)
   
2. {
   
3. //stop the file
   
4. axWindowsMediaPlayer1.
   
   Ctlcontrols
   
   .
   
   stop
   
   (
   
   )
   
   ;
   
5. }
