A quick App.Path ?

[Navarone]

How would I convert this to VB.NET.

AxShockwaveFlash1.Movie(App.Path & "\XML_FLV_player.swf")

I don't think this is correct

AxShockwaveFlash1.Movie(Application.StartupPath & "\XML_FLV_player.swf")

that should be correct. is it not working for you?

make sure that the XML_FLV_player.swf is in the BIN folder

Well I am not sure I get this error when I run the application

C:\Documents and Settings\Don\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\FLV Player\Form1.vb(132): Property access must assign to the property or use its value.

I think you are trying to use a property as a method..

try

AxShockwaveFlash1.Movie = Application.StartupPath & "\XML_FLV_player.swf"

Hey thanks that worked great. One more question regarding the app.path,

When I write my xml file I want to write to the application path. I guess in this case write to the bin. Is this correct?

Dim textWriter As XmlTextWriter = New XmlTextWriter(Application.StartupPath & "flv.xml", Nothing)

yes, while developing in the IDE, the BIN folder will be your application.startuppath, because that is where the IDE compiles the exe to before it runs it..

just remember that application.startuppath does NOT include the ending \ so you need to include that when specifying a file

Application.StartupPath & "\flv.xml"
