How can we paly wmv files in windows applications?
Playing wmv files

I did this in VB a while back - I had basically got three options; using the high level Windows Media control, use the MCI winAPI, or the low-level winAPI. The former requires WMP to be installed in the client machine, and the latter is really tricky (dealing directly with streaming media), so I plumped for using the MCI API. There are a lot of good examples on the NET with using it with VB.

Can you please tell me where I can find tutorials about this, links or something like that. I would be gratefull
Check out planetsourcecode.com for some example programs (there are definately some good examples in VB - you may find some .NET ones too). Also have a look on the MSDN Library for descriptions and examples of MCI-related API commands.
A google search for "VB.NET MCI" turns up some useful links too. http://www.vb2themax.com/Item.asp?PageID=CodeBank&Cat=1201&ID=653 shows you how to play a media file in VB.NET.
