I am using VS 2005 Professional and writing a guitar tuner app with visual basic. I have a 6 wav files that play in button click events using the My.Computer.Audio.Play() method. I need to animate a picture box meter while a wav file is playing. I have searched in the library, but I can't find any relevant info for checking if a sound is playing for vb. Is there a way I can check to see if the wav file is playing?

The problem I'm having is that I can't find a way for my .NET application to get the song that is currently playing like MSN can. I've been searching alot all over google but all I get is "how to play music in vb.net" and that is not what I'm looking for.

View 2 RepliesI embeded many audio file (.wav) in resources. I can inluded the following code to play a audio file My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.testWav, AudioPlayMode.Background)
But this command play only one audio file(testWav) I have two questions
1) Is there any way to play all audio files no matter how many files in Resources included in VB 2005 without typing all embeded audio file name? (using something like For Next statement)
2) Can I pass parameter to My.Computer.Audio.Play( , ), which means that when I choose one of files embeded in Resource, I just pass the chosen audio file to this command not specific file name(like testWav.wav)

The following code works to check if a file exist, but I need to also check if the file is open.How would I do that?
If System.IO.File.Exists(Application.StartupPath & "players.txt") = False Or System.IO.File.Exists(Application.StartupPath & "preferences.txt") = False Then
bla bla bla
End if
When the main program is doing it's routine, it is looking at, and using, data from the two files.So, when the user pauses the program by opening the control panel, one or both of the files may still be opened. When the control panel tries to open them, it causes an error.(I am guessing that to just tell it to close them will cause the same problem if they are already closed.)
For stopping by, is there a way to detect when a sound file (WAV) stops playing?
e.g.> There is a FORM with a PLAY button on which is coded to play a WAV file. But how does VB detect when the WAV file has finished playing?
Here is the code I have on the PLAY button
My.Computer.Audio.Play("test.wav", AudioPlayMode.BackgroundLoop)
My program turns on and off external relays from the parallel port. I need to find a way to activate the relay only while a wav file is playing and de-activate the relay when the wav file stops playing.

I have been working off and on for a year on my own media browser that I created in VB.NET. My program will play MP3 playlists as well as supporting drag and drop
Getting fileinfo of an mp3 is no problem but I have discovered that it is more complex when I try to get file duration of video files (.avi,.mpg) etc.
My code listed below uses a timer. In order for me to get a video duration value, I must actually play the file in axwindowsmediaplayer1 for one second. This seems not practical.
I have seen many examples on the internet in C# that read video metadata without need to play/load the file. Why are there no examples in vb.net of this? Is it too difficult to achieve in vb.net?[code]...
So I'm making a multi-function clock for practice.
It's a clock, timer and alarm. It's all done except for the alarm. I want to be able to choose a song (mp3) with OpenFileDialog1 and then play it when I click a button. I'm thinking about using a hidden Windows Media Player control,
I have done an extensive search before posting this question, using many different search parameters without success at finding an answer.Using Visual Studio 2008 Express VB:My program requires a notification when a wav file has finished playing, a media player song list will not suit my needs.I have used System.Media.SoundPlayer, Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound and My.Computer.Audio.Play to play a wav file. All work well at playing and stopping the requested wav. So far, I have not found a methode to capture an event when the wav has ended. DirectSound stops playing when the form has lost focus, so I dont think that I can use it. Audio.Play AudioPlayMode.WaitToComplete only holds up other operations and I dont want to create multiple threads.

View 1 RepliesI am developing a WinForms app that stores media files (video/audio) on a file server.All the file attributes are indexed on a SQL server. Currently, I am accessing the files in my client app for playback and export to file by impersonating the authorized user for the file share, caching a local copy, then doing what I need to do with the cached file (playback, export etc.)If a viewer wants to view a file (using the AXWindowsMediaPlayer control), I have to first cache the file completely (using the process I just mentioned) before the user can play it back. Any way I can get around this - perhaps someway I can avoid the cache step and play directly from the UNC source?I tried impersonating the authorized user then passing the UNC path for the file to AXWindowsMediaPlayer,but I got an error. It seems like the impersonation does not work with the control.Different threads? Also, is there a better way to do all this? Mounting a share does not seem to be an options since I want to control access to the media files through the app.

I have distributed a simple VB 2005 application that generally runs just fine without any installation: the user just inserts the CD and it starts via autorun.inf. The rare problem the users have is if they do not have .Net Framework 2 installed. I want to catch this error in my application, and display an appropriate message. I also want to test this on my own computer (which of course has the Framework installed). So my questions are
1. Should I be using a try-catch-end try in the form load sub, or somewhere else? and
2. How can I test this on my own computer without un-installing the Framwork? If I can raise an error while debugging, what error number should I raise?
