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. ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |

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

I'll dig out some source code for you and references this weekend. I need to go out and get drunk first though... I'm sure you can see that I have my priorities well in order  ~~
At the latest, I can get you some source next weekend - my sister is coming over from hong kong, so I'll also need to get drunk with her this weekend

At the top of your form in vb.net: Imports Microsoft.MediaPlayer.Interop or with "using" if you use c# Then drag ad drop a WMP control onto your designer surface. everything is pretty straight forward after that. Make sure you have the SDK installed though.

I know - I was just being very lazy... Either way, it's about the same thing - install SDK - drop control on form - wire up custom controls & logic - build. ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |
