Im fooling around with the Windows Media Player control in Visual Studio 11 (Beta) and I'm wondering how to
1. How to get the path to a folder, and then add all the paths of the files in that folder into an ArrayList
2. How can I get the length of the current .mp3 file that's playing in the Windows Media Player control?
I made a media player that has a list box and u click on a song and it plays. But the problem is it says the file path not the song's name and length.

View 3 RepliesI have some songs in the resources of my application and want to get their time length so that I can set a timer to tick when the song ends. And then start the next song. I want to do that in my code, and get the time length of a song as an integer value.
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to make MP3 player with listview but I have some problems what I cant figure out.
First problem is that when I import files then every song should get number. Its like play list up to down with number 1,2,3,4,5 etc. I tryed to google but I didn't find anything useful. Mabye because I don't know how to name that.
Second problem is that I don't know how to get song length.
Third problem : when I play a song I want that it add +1 for Times Played , but I don't know how to add it parallel with right song.
I'm using AxWindowsMediaPlayer to make this.
Base on the related to the last thread please you clarify of how to load song fles to database that we have been set ?
View 12 RepliesI want to play the next song from my listbox when the current song is finished. This is what I've tried:
If AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.playState = WMPLib.WMPPlayState.wmppsMediaEnded Then
ListBox1.SelectedIndex += 1
AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = ListBox1.SelectedItem
AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.play()
End If
It changes the index of the listbox, but it doesn't play the new file. The file exist and there's no problem playing it the normal way.
I am creating a mp3 player through VB.Net I have kept a Listbox that shows the play list. I have created the player such that it when ever the user cicks on the selection on listbox the player play the corresponding song. so the user has to click on the next song to play the next song once the previous song is finished.Now I would like to know is it possible for the player to automatically play the next song once the previous song is finished? If so how do I go about doing this on VB.Net?

i have 2 listboxes beside eachother and one listbox shows all the songs in the wmp control playlist, the other listbox always has the same topindex, im trying to show in that listbox with a pointer ('>') which song is currently playing in the media control but i need to know what the song number is in order to do that. there has to be some order, right? that increases when you go to the next song and decreases when u go to the previous?so far i have:
Private Sub wmp1_CurrentItemChange(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_CurrentItemChangeEvent) Handles wmp1.CurrentItemChange

The end result I am looking for is I want to add File Paths to a CheckedListBox. I only want certain file extensions and if a file by the same name but a specific extension exsists allready then I do not want to add those files to the CheckedListBox.
Example: I am only wanting these filetypes in my CheckedListBox (.gif, .tif, .bmp, and .jpg).However if the filetype (.PNG) allready exsists with the same filename (i.e. image. png and image.jpg) I then do NOT want to add that JPG. Only files that do not allready have a PNG with the same name. (I hope I was able to make this clear)
My current code will add the filetypes (.gif, .tif, .bmp and .jpg) to the CheckedListBox. However I do not know how to have the code only add the files that don't have the PNG.Here is my current code:[code].....

I am working on a project and transferring the whole project back and forth. The thing is I am using a full file path in all my code ("c:/Users/..."), so when I transfer to the other computer the file paths break. Everything I am linking to is in the "bin" folder in my project's folder. How do I have file paths relative to the project folder?

I am working on a project that consists of manipulating several reports (word and excel). At the beginning of my project I set all paths to a hard string (C:users...................) using the my.settings. Worked great during developement but now its time to test on other machines. I have been toying with using Application.StartupPath but cannot figure out how to modify the app.config so I do not have to recode my forms (given it would not take long), not to sound lazy but I know there has to be a way to achieve a computer specific path to find the reports in the application directory.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to write a simple standalone windows forms project that basically contains various buttons which run external application setup files. The problem is I want to be able to run it from a USB stick. I have created a folder inside the project with all the files I need to call in it. I am using Process.start but the paths are obviously going to be wrong when the project is running from the stick as the drive letter may be different each time. How do I over come this.
View 1 RepliesFirst of all, using VB 2008.I'm writing my first VB program that will actually do anything, so I am about as noob as noob can get. I'll try to keep my question as simple as possible.
My program will have a password protected screen, but rather than "hard-coding" a password into the program, I'd like to give the user the option of changing the password to whatever he'd like. Obviously, without hardcoding the password into the program, this value would need to be stored somewhere outside the program in order for it to be available the next time the program is executed.
I know that the Windows registry is a place to save data like that, but are there other places (certain types of files, etc.) where this data is typically stored? I'm writing this program for work, and I'm not sure that my IT department will look favorably upon me messing around with the registry.
I've search for this, but haven't come up with anything. Anyhow, I'm wanting to do something along the lines of contracting the path so you see the start and end, along the lines of:

View 8 RepliesI'm attempting to parse a text file containing several Windows paths; I'd like to use regular expressions if possible, and I'm using VB.NET.The file is formatted somewhat like so:

My program has to store files externally to work with. Before now the path was fixed at C:/DSGameMaker, I did the following:
System.IO.File.ReadAllText("C:/DSGameMaker/data.dat")
However I want to let users install the program wherever they want, so I changed that line and others to:
System.IO.File.ReadAllText("data.dat")
Which works great, until you do this:
System.IO.File.ReadAllText("D:/X/Y.Z")
As soon as I put a fixed path into the ReadAllText function it changes the relative path to D:/X. Which means the following function looks inside D:/X instead of the apps directory:
System.IO.File.ReadAllText("data.dat")
And complains that "D:/X/data.dat" is not found.
How can I use relative paths but also read from full file names, for example from an OpenFileDialog, without VB changing my relative path, and breaking it all from then onwards?
