Could anyone tell me of a way to play Windows Media Player Files using VB.Net, I've made a pretty cool intro for a project I'm doing but I can't get it to work!..Any help would be appreciated

Open the Toolbox, right-click, and select Add/Remove Items

Click on the COM components tab and scroll down to select the Windows Media Player (C:\WINDOWS\System32\wmp.dll)

For a full explanation see
