I am using VB 2008. I am trying to use the currentMedia.durationString to get a tracks lenght like shown below:
Label1.Text = AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentMedia.durationString
I have a problem that this does not work until a file has started playing. If i start a track and then stop it, then load a different track it works perfectly but it never just works first time.
In our VB6 applications, we added a few utility functions for tracking the amount of time spent in a function. We did this to track performance bottlenecks. Basically, how it worked was there were two utility functions:
StartTickCount() and EndTickCount().
You would pass the name of the function in each, and the functions would use a dictionary to get the tick count when StartTickCount() was called, and then subtract the tick count when EndTickCount() was called. This wasn't perfect because it didn't of course take into consideration that calls to get tick count takes time, etc, but basically it worked for our purposes. How to make sure to call StartTickCount() at the beginning of each function and EndTickCount() at each exit point:
Private Function SomeFuction() as String
' indicate the function started
StartTickCount("MyClass.SomeFunction")
' some logic that causes the function to end
[Code] .....
Anyway, is there any functionality built in, either through the VS 2010 debugger or in the System.Reflection namespace, to do something similar in VB.NET? Basically, what I want is to log the number of times each function is called, the total amount to time spent in that function, the average number of seconds spent in that function, and the maximum amount of time spent in a single call in that function.
I made a media player and it works well but the duration tag says

So basicly ive made a media player in vb using the windows media player control and everything is fine except that when i use the trackbar to navigate on a video it starts stopping and starting like a scratched cd (there is nothing wrong with the video file) strangely this does not happen whilst playing audio files the shaking stops if i pause it for a second ant then play it again but incorporating a pause in the trackbar function does not help. This the code i found on the internet but this produces the same result:[code]...
My media player track bar is jumping across the screen. In about 45 seconds the track bar is done.
Under properties I have interval 1000 set and behavior is timer tick.

If Me.AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.playState = WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsBuffering Or Me.AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.playState = WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsPlaying Then
Me.TrackBar1.Minimum = 0
[Code]...
Imagine that I have a timer checking the current position, and always checking if it is equal to the duration of the sound.

I was wondering if it was possible to use Visual Basic .NET and perhaps the WMP Interop DLL to get the active song from Windows Media Player, and maybe the playlist that's currently on it?

im working on a little app for my self, to make my life a little more convenient. I have some media keys on my laptop, and I would like to use them with itunes while it is minimized. I found a app that did it for me a long time ago, but cant seem to find it now. But I would like to try my hand at my own, and I've managed to do so, but, my app has to be in focus for it to work. is there any way to still detect when these media keys are pressed while my app is out of focus?

I am messing around with the WMPLib component provided by Windows Media Player 12 (wmp.dll) in VB.NET with .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.
I am trying to retrieve a media item from my media library based on its name (assuming there are no duplicate names). At the moment, I'm grabbing the entire media library, and looping through every media item, and quitting the loop when I've found the correct media item. This works well (except for when a media item with that name cannot be found), but I was hoping there was a more efficient way of doing this.
Here is my code so far:
Public Class WMPTest
Private myWMP As WMPLib.IWMPCore
Private myMediaCollection As WMPLib.IWMPMediaCollection
[Code]......
So what I really want is a way to optimize findTrack() to do its thing without looping through the entire media library (which could be huge).
I have created a media player (vb.net 2005) using the media player control. Plays fine when using open dialog box and url. I have set my player as the default player but when I click on a media file, the player will open but not play. I am sure it has to do with on open event and coding the url to see the selected file just like any other media player out there.
