[C#] Play Song or Movie without Media Player

PHP Code:

---

[DllImport("winmm.dll")]
private static extern long mciSendString(string strCommand, StringBuilder strReturn, int iReturnLength, 
IntPtr hwndCallback); 


---

Would go up top some where. Need using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

PHP Code:

---

    mciSendString("open \"" + File_To_Play + "\" type mpegvideo alias MediaFile", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
    mciSendString("play MediaFile", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero); 


---

Goes in the play button and what not.

PHP Code:

---

    mciSendString("close MediaFile", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero); 


---

Stop playing.

How exactly would you view the video?

Not exactly sure. You would probably have to make that function. I only figure this out this morning.

That's cool.
Watching the video would be even awesome-er. Might want to do some research on how media players work before going into that, though.
