I want to develop (or get a control from anywhere) a video player in visual basic which can play video file (Dat, Mpeg etc.) from the exact location where it stoped when the player is shut down. Any help is appreciated.

Just use the windows media player control, it's called "Windows Media Player"... just add it to your toolbox then drag and drop

I am not playing the song from any URL, I am playing it from local hoard disk, and I mean to say that if the song is of length 10 minutes and after 5 minutes if I close the application, the song should be played from 5 minutes when I restart the application and not from 0.00 seconds. Anyone understand ?? pls help

You can do it with the WMP control. But you need to do that stuff programmatically. If you want really good stuff, you need Lead Tools.

Remember that with WMP, some formats/encodings cannot be played from any point - some can only be played from beginning to end.

You still set the URL property.... it doesn't make a difference whether its http:// or just a path like C:\mysong.mp3
