How do you use VB.Net or VB6 which ever you know, to play any and all music types without opening a program to play for you.

I know this is a big question, but I ask that you help me in any way possiable.

MP3, WAV, MIDI, TL and WMV if possiable.

Don't know about all music types, but have you tried using the "Windows Media Player" control?

Though it is somthing I need true. But I can't figure out how to make it play a spicific file. Can any one point me to a good tutorial or show me how to make it play from path ect.

Have a look at the attached project.

Ok thankyou. Now I just have (hopfully) one more question:

How would I go about making it play a file, but it it'self being a .dll or OCX? I need it for a game maker I am making.

This one uses the reference not the control.

Here's the calling program code.

Private x As MySounds.clsMedia Private Sub Command1_Click()     x.Play "c:\sounds\sound.mp3" End Sub Private Sub Form_Load()     Set x = New MySounds.clsMedia End Sub Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)     Set x = Nothing End Sub

and heres the class I created, you create your own dll from that.

' include reference to "Windows Media Player" ' not the control Private WithEvents p As MediaPlayer.MediaPlayer Public Sub Play(filename As String)     p.Open filename End Sub Public Sub Finish()     p.Stop End Sub Private Sub Class_Initialize()     Set p = New MediaPlayer.MediaPlayer      End Sub Private Sub Class_Terminate()     p.Stop     Set p = Nothing      End Sub

Ok, made my DLL. Thanks. If I have any more problems I will PM you or post on this thread.

Ok, now when I try using it with VB.Net It tells me there is no set entry point. Did I not specify one? Or do I have to specify one?

Have to pass on the vb.net bit.

Well, could be u have declared ur dll unappropriate. Send ur code so we can look at it
