MediaPlayer must be installed to play, below is the UI XAML code for audio play. XAML Code: "WpfTutorialSamples.Audio_and_Video.MediaPlayerAudioControlSample" xmlns= "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x= "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title= "MediaPlayerAudioControlSample" Height= "120" Width= "300" > "10" > "lblStatus" Content= "Not playing..." HorizontalContentAlignment= "Center" Margin= "5" /> "Center" > "btnPlay" Click= "btnPlay_Click" >Play "btnPause" Margin= "5,0" Click= "btnPause_Click" >Pause "btnStop" Click= "btnStop_Click" >Stop C# code to play audio: using System; using System.Windows; using System.Windows.Media; using System.Windows.Threading; using Microsoft.Win32; namespace WpfTutorialSamples.Audio_and_Video { public partial class MediaPlayerAudioControlSample : Window { private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); public MediaPlayerAudioControlSample() { InitializeComponent(); OpenFileDialog openFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog(); openFileDialog.Filter = "MP3 files (*.mp3)|*.mp3|All files (*.*)|*.*" ; if (openFileDialog.ShowDialog() == true ) mediaPlayer.Open( new Uri(openFileDialog.FileName)); DispatcherTimer timer = new DispatcherTimer(); timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1); timer.Tick += timer_Tick; timer.Start(); } void timer_Tick( object sender, EventArgs e) { if (mediaPlayer.Source != null ) lblStatus.Content = String.Format( "{0} / {1}" , mediaPlayer.Position.ToString(@ "mm\:ss" ), mediaPlayer.NaturalDuration.TimeSpan.ToString(@ "mm\:ss" )); else lblStatus.Content = "No file selected..." ; } private void btnPlay_Click( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { mediaPlayer.Play(); } private void btnPause_Click( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { mediaPlayer.Pause(); } private void btnStop_Click( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { mediaPlayer.Stop(); } } }
