Need help with Managed DirectX [SOLVED]

[M@rtyn12345]

Can someone please help me with this:

I've recently downloaded DirectX 9 SDK, with the new manged directx feature.

Now I'm building a MP3 player program and using the Audio class of the DirectX.AudioVideoPlayblack namespace.

The Audio class is a great class to play MP3 files. You can do this like this:

Public WithEvents audio As Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.Audio

Public Sub PlaySong(MP3FileName)
  audio = audio.FromURL(MP3FileName)
  audio.Play()
End Sub

And do this everytime the user clicks the play-button.

The problem is, that this audio object just grows and grows as it does not close the files it opened with the FromURL() method.

The class has no method Close() or something and there is no property to determine the filenumber.

Please help me!!!

Thanks, but I already figured out what the problem was.

When I wanted to load a new file, I used the FromURL() method, but this returned a new audio object and keeps the old in memory.

The FromURL() or FromFile() methods, should be called once, to create one audio object. If you want to load a new file (with that single audio object) you have to use the OpenURL() or OpenFile() method.
