C# code to auto detect and play audio files from the CDROM Drive with Media Player

Question

Hello All,

I'm using Media Player in my C# code to play audio files. What I would like is the code that will allow 'Media Player to auto detect and play audio files from the CDROM Drive' without the need to specify the name of audio file like this: axWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = drive:\wave.wma.

I hope this is possible in C#.

Answer 1

I've never used the media player but have used System.IO.File classes.  Your program can access the drive and get a listing of all the files.  From that list your program can plug the media player at will.  I'm sure the media player has some type of queueing mechanism.  Just send the list of files over to the media player would be my guess.

Thanks for the link.

From the link I got the code below but I'm sure of how to use it, does any one have a sample code that will guide me.

axWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentPlaylist = axWindowsMediaPlayer1.mediaCollection.getByName("mediafile");
