Adding Vlc.DotNet controls to the toolbox

I am beginning development using the Vlc.DotNet project for my own applications.

I grabbed Vlc.DotNet via the NuGet Package Manager and all 4 of the dlls are successfully listed as references.

I am trying to add the controls to the toolbox.

I have tried going through choose items..., browsing to the packages folder and selecting the dlls for Vlc.DotNet under the newest version of asp.net that is listed.

But I get an error message saying that there are no controls in the dlls to add. I know this is quite incorrect. So if anyone else has developed with Vlc.DotNet, some help would be very much appreciated. I cannot figure out how to add its controls to the toolbox. Another article suggests drag and drop with the dlls, this does absolutely nothing.

Solution

  • Ah, I believe all Vlc control operations are now managed through the "VlcControl" control which was located in the Vlc.DotNet.Forms dll

    The tutorials in the Vlc.DotNet are outdated, and do not represent this fact.
