How to add multiple files to a playlist


I have one OpenFileDialog control that has Multiselect = true. Now I want to add each file to windows media player playlist but I have no idea how to do that and there is no good example on the internet.

if (ofdSong.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    foreach (string file in ofdSong.FileNames)
    {
        //Code to add file to the playlist
    }
}

Solution

  • With help of DJ KRAZE that gave me the example link and JayJay who wrote that example, here is the solution.

    WMPLib.IWMPPlaylist playlist = wmp.playlistCollection.newPlaylist("myplaylist");
    WMPLib.IWMPMedia media;
    if (ofdSong.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        foreach (string file in ofdSong.FileNames)
        {
            media = wmp.newMedia(file);
            playlist.appendItem(media);
        }
    }
    wmp.currentPlaylist = playlist;
    wmp.Ctlcontrols.play();
