Hi,

im trying to build a uri and heres what i have :

Uri Path= new Uri(PathString) ;
 
Player.Source=Path;
 
''Just to check what did the uri come up with
Label1.content= Player.Source.Tostring() ;

the path string is equal to :

D:\Documents and Settings\Prox-Yd\Mis documentos\Mi música\Pablo\carlos santana & everlast - supernatural - turn your lights on.mp3

and what the uri came up with its :

file:///D:\Documents and Settings\Prox-Yd\Mis documentos\Mi música\Pablo\carlos santana & everlast - supernatural - turn your lights on.mp3

So Player cant find the path of what the uri came up with so i cant use that, how can i remove the file:/// ?

thanks

Have you tried using Path.LocalPath?

[Pac_741]

Path its a variable in my appliacation

Path.LocalPath, im not using any of those beacuse, what i need to come up with its a uri containg the path of the file droped by the user, but ive already done that, the problem is if i use Path.LocalPath ill come up with a string and when i turn that into a uri it comes out with the file:/// before, so i dont know how to remove the f:///

[Steve_F]

What kind of object is Player? Can it only take a Uri as the parameter for the path?

[Pac_741]

Im using MediaElement a WPF control, and yes it can only take Uri as path

I was trying to create some Uris in other applications and all of them turned out like this one, Steve_F do you have the same problem ? or does anyone else has the same problem ?? i didnt have this problem before i installed 3.5 service pack 1 and i dont know if that caused the problem

[Steve_F]

Yeah I tried to create some and they all have the file://. It dind't have the prefix when I tried using a URL as a parameter. So the method must take the format of the passed string into consideration. Im just not sure how to let it know youre using a directory as a parameter...

[Steve_F]

The constructor for a Uri is overloaded, the solution might be something with that, im trying now.

[Pac_741]

i got it, for some reason .net 3.5 service pack 1 was causing the problem thats what i think, i uninstalled it the problem was gone

[Pac_741]

when i create uris for other objects it doenst contain the f:/// but when i use them for the media element the uri turns out wiht a f:///

[Pac_741]

Steve_F, thank you very much for your time

the problem wasnt .Net 3.5 service pack 1, nor the uris the problem was i was using windows xp without windows media player 10 or greater, so the media control just works with media player 10 or greater so that was the problem
