Playing MP3s

[squirrel]

I work as a trainer and my delegates have asked how to write a (VB) .NET application that will open a series of MP3s in the default player and play them.

In VB6 I probably would have used the ShellExecute function to perform this but I cant seem to get the ShellExecute to work in .NET -- not even to open a Word or Notepad doc. What am I doing wrong?

Use this:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("filename")

This will open your mp3 in default player.

Magic -- thanks.

I cant believe I didnt try that! Some trainer I am!!!

What about if I wanted to roll my own app to play a few MP3s in .NET. Or am I just asking for trouble? This is now me being curious as a developer. I have no intentions of teaching it, Im just not sure where to start...

Goto my website and the .net examples section. I have some examples that will play mp3s.
