Re: Media Element Help - WPF Discussion Boards

6-Jun-08 6:52

I've searched all over Codeproject, and on google, but i can't figure out how to insert a source into the Media Element from a listbox with the media file name on it.

Even though this is an extremely vague bad question, can someone help me out with this matter.

assuming your listboxitem is of type string you should do:

myMediaElement.Source = new Uri(myListBox.SelectedItem.ToString());

Don't understand the concept of strings yet, so i highly doubt it is one.

I'll try this nonetheless

could you please post the code where you are adding the source of the mp3 file to the listbox?

also if there isn't an item selected then the "SelectedItem" property will be null and in return throw the exception that you posted

EDIT:

this is how i would do it.

I'm not sure how your getting the file path, but if the filepath is a string then you would add it to the listbox like this:

string myFilePath = @"C:\myMp3\Soundgarden - Some Song.mp3";
myListBox.Items.Add(myFilePath);

then i would hook the ListBox.MouseDoubleClick. This will fire when a user doubleclicks on a song

private void myListBox_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    if (myListBox.SelectedItems.Count > 0) //Make sure there is at least one selected item
    {
        string mySelectedFilePath = myListBox.SelectedItem.ToString();  //Get the selected file path from the listbox
        myMediaElement.Source = new Uri(mySelectedFilePath); //add it to the media element source
    }
}

Still not getting this to work out right, i figured out I'm missing the mySelectedFilePath. And if i leave as is, no song plays/it adds the same thing into the list over and over and over (if you keep selecting it)

Trying to switch things around to see if it works but still has been giving the same errors as before.

And i can't show you the code to what i had before, i switched it to see if it would work as you said you would do. Accidentally saved after changes (habit)

Hi Nick,

Its going to be really hard for anyone to help you further unless you post the code you *are* using. A string is CHARACTER based type ...

1 = numeric
"1" = string

Cheers,

You must be adding adding the songs to the listbox in the wrong place.

Instead of switching things around to "try" to get it to work, you really need to read a good book. My Favorites are:

Pro C# 2008 and the .NET 3.5 Platform, Fourth Edition[^] - This helps understand C#

Pro WPF[^] - This is geared more for wpf.

Without any code, i have no clue on what your doing. So its real hard to help you further

I've made a complete solution for you ... have a look at this to see how to do what you want.

PlayMediaElement from Listbox[^]

Change the directory in the source code to somewhere you know you have .avi files and then build it and run it ...

alternatively you could change the extension from "*.avi" to "*.mp3"

You've not picked a simple task to start with really. MediaElement is a tempramental beast!!

How do I embed WPF Custom UserControl (.dll) into a Webpage?

Hey guys,

I have been developing some custom WPF UserControl's (System.Windows.Controls.UserControl -- .dll) in WPF/C#. I was wondering how I could use these custom controls inside of a webpage? Can anyone provide any examples of WPF ActiveX embedding code using HTML/JavaScript etc?

I greatly appreciate any help.

David.

Great question, I have been wondering this for some time but haven't gotten around to trying it. I can't find any examples online for this, but I'm sure a WPF MediaElement or other control can be embedded inside a webpage, I'm just not sure how.

madness ? this.isSparta = true : this.isSparta = false;

Topmost control error

C# Beginner Nick5-Jun-08 15:30

Re: Topmost control error

5-Jun-08 15:30

In the WPF window, i have a check box that i want to be checked and make the program stay up top of all others.

this.TopMost();

But i keep getting this error

Error	1	Non-invocable member 'System.Windows.Window.Topmost' cannot be used like a method.	C:\Documents and Settings\Nick\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Bleach Player\Bleach Player\Window1.xaml.cs	36	18	Bleach Player<br />

I've tried to throw an exception and that just threw me down a long road of errors.

Anyone explain why i can't do this or use this:

<br />
            if (Change.Checked)<br />
                { FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None; }<br />
            else <br />
                { FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.SizableToolWindow; }

To change the window border frame?

Btw, i know this is in the WPF forum, not C# as the codes above are. Before you start flaming i understand this but i am creating a WPF window not a C# program.

Brian Griggs5-Jun-08 17:31

TopMost is a propterty, so try:

this.TopMost = true;

I'm assuming Change is a CheckBox, and in that case you can't do if (Change.Checked) because Checked is an event. Use IsChecked which is of type bool? (? means it is nullable as in System.Nullable):

if ((bool)Change.IsChecked)

I don't know where FormBorderStyle came from. If you're using a System.Windows.Window use

WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None;
and 
WindowStyle = WindowStyle.ToolWindow;

Hi all,

I am trying to build a game based on the WPF and WCF. Client and server work fine on my machine(Vista 64), they are connected successful. But when I am trying to run server on the LAN machine(WinXp) and client on my machine(Vista 64), after calling service metod from client application I get exception:
"Fail agreement of mode security SOAP from "http://192.168.0.55:8080/Pf\" for object "http://192.168.0.55:8080/Pf\"."????
Help please to resolve the problem.

Have you configured the security on your bindings yet? I'd try turning the security off on both client and server bindings add see if that allows calls through.

Replace the WSHttpBinding with the type of binding you're using and set the security mode to None.

WSHttpBinding binding = new WSHttpBinding(SecurityMode.None);

or if the binding is in a config file:

<security mode="None"/>

If that works then your problem is with security.

Brian thanks for help.
Here is the cut of my server app.config file:

<bindings>
   <wsDualHttpBinding>
     <binding name="WSDualHttpBinding_IPref">
       <security mode="None"/>
     </binding>
   </wsDualHttpBinding>
 </bindings>

Here is is the cut of my client app.config file:

<bindings>
     <wsDualHttpBinding>
         <binding name="WSDualHttpBinding_IPref" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
             openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"
             bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
             maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"
             messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true">
             <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
                 maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
             <reliableSession ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00" />
             <security mode="Message">
                 <message clientCredentialType="Windows" negotiateServiceCredential="true"
                     algorithmSuite="Default" />
             </security>
         </binding>
     </wsDualHttpBinding>
 </bindings>

If I change

<security mode="Message">
   <message clientCredentialType="Windows" negotiateServiceCredential="true"
   algorithmSuite="Default" />
</security>

<security mode="None">
</security>

It fails with something like this:
"Operation of opening doesn't complete in the course of defined period 00:01:00" Frown | :(

even if the server and the client are running on my machine.

Brian Griggs6-Jun-08 6:50

Brian Griggs

It may need the message element (both files):

<security mode="None">
  <message clientCredentialType="None" negotiateServiceCredential="false"
    algorithmSuite="Default" />
</security>

I did a quick test with the binding. The server on vista64 and client on XP. After turning off the firewalls it worked. The only difference is I didn't use a config file, just hard coded everything for the test. If you'd like I can post it.
