[C#] Play Song or Movie without Media Player

[Chad]

 [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;

     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.

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

Stop playing.

How exactly would you view the video?

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 videuld be even awesome-er. Might want to do some research on how media players work before going into that, though.
