Displaying .AVI file in VB.NET

[jeaniedave]

How do I display a .AVI file in VB.NET? For example, I'd like
to display the FILECOPY.AVI file while copying a file, similar to
the standard Microsoft method.
Thanks

you can use the microsoft windows media player control just like u did in vb6..vs.net will upgrade it to a .net component..but if u want the animation for showing copy operation there's an windows api that shows that dialog showing the percentage of a file being copied etc..just look for it

I found a detailed explanation on the MSDN site at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...er_article.asp

titled: Playing Digital Media in a Visual Basic .NET Application, and using the Windows Media Player 9 series.

However, although I can now get the filecopy.avi to play on my form, the .avi background color remains. This is a purple-ish color (I think they call it fushcia). When I've displayed icons or bitmaps in a picture box, the background color is treated as a transparent color. So how do I get the background color in the .avi files to be transparent in the WMP control?

Thanx for the above helpful information, is there an animation control in .NET that i can use to play the file FILECOPY.AVI to simulate a delet operation jas like in vb6 while using the animation control?.
