Building a progress bar for Silverlight MediaElement

Question

I want a simple progress bar and a time label that shows the current position of the movie. Google gave me a few examples using Javascript: I really don't want to do that. The key thing is to keep the progress bar and time updated througout the movie. Where can I find that event?

Answer 1

There is no event to hook into.

Instead user a Timer to periodically check MediaElement.Position for the MediaElement's current position and update your progress bar.

Something like:

private void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    TimeSpan currentPosition = Media1.Position;        
    this.Slider1.Value == currentPosition.TotalSeconds
}
