play mp3 with c# code

Question

 

I know

Use the System.Diagnostics.Process class (the Start method) to launch your MP3 player to play a mp3 file.

But I need use my code to close the media player after it finished the playing.

How to code it?

Thank you.

Hello Billqu,

 

As of version 3.5 of the Compact Framework, you could use the new SoundPlayer class:

For pre 3.5 versions, you could look into the following links:

Dear Peter:

         Does OpenNETCF Media Player Controls need to buy?

         I do not understand the OpenNetCF clearly,

         Is it free to use by the developer?

         Please tell me.

         Thank you very much.

Hello Bill,

 

as far as i know, the OpenNETCF Smart Device Framework (SDF) Community Edition is free, but the OpenNETCF Media Player Controls need to be bought.

You really should read the Terms of Use for the SDF for a more specific license agreement.

 

Greetings.
