Playing Midi Files

Question

I code in VB using VS2010 under Windows7 64bit.

I want to play a midi file.
Apparently I need the Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback namespace.

When I run dxdiag it tells me that DirectX11 is installed.
When I try to Reference it then I cannot find any reference to it under either .NET or .COM components.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Apparently this only works to play .wav files!

Ok, the below solution worked for me. The issue is that the dll you looking for could be part of directx SDK which is not needed if you want to just play a file:
