As pointed to the MSDN tutorial, here is a short, practical summary to get a Windows Forms media player working for . Add the Windows Media Player COM control to the Toolbox (Choose Items... -> COM Components -> Windows Media Player) and drag it onto your form. Visual Studio will create an AxWindowsMediaPlayer instance; you can set a file path to its URL property and use its Ctlcontrols and settings members to control playback.

Example usage:

axWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = @"C:\Music\song.mp3";
axWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.play();
axWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.pause();
axWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.stop();
axWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.currentPosition += 10;   // forward 10 seconds
axWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.currentPosition -= 10;   // rewind 10 seconds
axWindowsMediaPlayer1.settings.volume = 75;                // 0-100

// monitor state changes
axWindowsMediaPlayer1.PlayStateChange += AxWindowsMediaPlayer1_PlayStateChange;

private void AxWindowsMediaPlayer1_PlayStateChange(object sender, AxWMPLib._WMPOCXEvents_PlayStateChangeEvent e)
{
    // e.newState corresponds to WMPLib.WMPPlayState values
}

Troubleshooting notes: use verbatim strings or escape backslashes for paths; verify the file exists and the system has the needed codecs; on Windows N/KN SKUs the Media Feature Pack is required for WMP; if the ActiveX control fails on a 64-bit machine, try compiling the app as x86. For web scenarios do not host this control server-side — use client-side HTML5 audio or an embedded player. For audio-only or advanced processing, consider a managed library such as NAudio.
