Can you show the code where you are copying the CD data. And pin point the problem you are facing.

this is the code. it gives no errors. its just not getting the contents off the cd like the album name , artist, etc.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using WMPLib;
using AxWMPLib;

namespace CdRomManagement
{

public partial class Form1 : Form
{

public Form1()
{

InitializeComponent();

}

private void axWindowsMediaPlayer1_CdromMediaChange(object sender, AxWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_CdromMediaChangeEvent e)
{

axWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentPlaylist = axWindowsMediaPlayer1.cdromCollection.Item(e.cdromNum).Playlist;

axWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.stop();

this.textBox1.Text = "Name: " + axWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentMedia.getItemInfo("Name") + Environment.NewLine;

this.textBox1.Text += "author: " + axWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentMedia.getItemInfo("author") + Environment.NewLine;

this.textBox1.Text += "Title: " + axWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentMedia.getItemInfo("Title") + Environment.NewLine;

this.textBox1.Text += "Album: " + axWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentMedia.getItemInfo("Album") + Environment.NewLine;

this.textBox1.Text += "copyright: " + axWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentMedia.getItemInfo("copyright") + Environment.NewLine;

this.textBox1.Text += "Artist: " + axWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentMedia.getItemInfo("Artist") + Environment.NewLine;

this.textBox1.Text += "Genre: " + axWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentMedia.getItemInfo("Genre").ToString() + Environment.NewLine;

this.textBox1.Text += "Bitrate: " + axWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentMedia.getItemInfo("Bitrate") + Environment.NewLine;

this.textBox1.Text += "Abstract: " + axWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentMedia.getItemInfo("Abstract") + Environment.NewLine;

this.textBox1.Text += "bitRate: " + axWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentMedia.getItemInfo("bitRate") + Environment.NewLine;

this.textBox1.Text += "duration: " + axWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentMedia.getItemInfo("duration") + Environment.NewLine;

}

A CD and a DAT are two different formats. Which one did you mean ? Or are you just talking like a retard ?

Why did you think it was working, and why is it not now ? I'd assume you used to connect to a database of CDs that no longer exists. Either way, it's kind of your problem. Posting a vague question like this isn't going to get you any help, you're basically asking us to redo your project, or you just plain have not thought about your post. Post some code, tell us what goes wrong, and then perhaps we can offer specific help.

They apply themselves. A textbox has no idea what you're entering, it doesn't know it's a number. int.TryParse or float.Parse, or whatever, will use the current culture.

You can apply your chosen culture in overloaded methods if you don't want to use the default culture.

Hi, everybody

How to retrieve the index of items in a ListBox and
then using a loop make a statement on each element of the listbox until last.

Thank for your help Smile | :)

What have you tried ? It's very basic. Do you have any C# or winforms books ?

Well, you won't learn anything if instead of reading books, you ask us to provide you with the most basic code without trying to write it yourself.

I'm realizing a application that will enable me via my USB bluetooth detect mobile and then list them in my ListBox. And each of my mobile ListBox send a message, but automatically. Smile | :)

Sounds like far too complex an application for someone who doesn't know how to iterate over a listbox's items. Try something more basic first.

If you have a syntax that allows me to retrieve the index of elements in a ListBox, its me far enough. Thank you Smile | :)

You would need to write code to track that value yourself.
