Current Media Duration - How To Get Track Length

Nov 15, 2010

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.

VS 2010 - How To Track Duration Of Functions Calls

Feb 15, 2012

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.

This the code i found on the internet but this produces the same result:[code]...

.net - Find Media Item In WMP Media Library?

Apr 25, 2010

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).

If using the following in an if statement I get an error: If trg.Name.Substring(4, 6).ToUpper <> ("ABCDEF") Then I get the error: "Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length"

I assume this is because the string (trg.name) is too small for the 4, 6 substring. What would be the correct method of working around this problem? VB.net Studio 2008.
