Remarks
The media player skin defines the appearance and behavior of the MediaPlayer control in the browser.
There are several built-in skins. You can edit a built-in skin or create new skins using any tool that can edit XAML, such as Expression Blend or Visual Studio 2008.
A media player skin is a XAML file with elements having special names such as PlayButton and CaptionArea that are associated with actions when a media file plays. For example, you can define a media player skin that has a red triangle as an element and is named PlayButton. When a user clicks that element in the browser, the MediaPlayer control starts playing the media file.
The Classic.xaml skin is used if you do not specify a value for the MediaSkinSource property.
For more information about choosing and customizing media skins, see ASP.NET MediaPlayer Server Control.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to set the MediaSkinSource property of the MediaPlayer class.
MediaPlayer1.MediaSkinSource = DropDownList2.SelectedValue.ToString()
MediaPlayer1.MediaSkinSource = DropDownList2.SelectedValue.ToString();
