Drag video from windows explorer and drop onto my form to play a video in wmp control

[happycamper1221]

Hi, I have some code that i got from another post on vb forums but i don't know how to intemperate it to work with my program this is what i have and have changed so far.

Private Sub Form1_DragDrop(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles Me.DragDrop
        Me.AllowDrop = True

        Try
            AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = FromFile(CType(e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop), Array).GetValue(0).ToString)
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show("Error Doing Drag/Drop")
        End Try

    End Sub

'---------------------

Private Sub Form1_DragEnter(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles Me.DragEnter
        If (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop)) Then
            e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy
        End If
    End Sub

what i want it to do is you drag any video from windows explorer/ desktop onto form1 and the video gets loaded into theaxwindowsmediaplayer1 control's url

Thank you.

make sure form1 has DragDrop enabled, because 'Me.AllowDrop' isn't being fired until 'DragDrop' gets initialized, which won't ever initialize unless you tell the form to allow it.

If this isn't the error, then what is? is there an exception?
