Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Plays media from the current position.

Namespace: System.Windows.Controls
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub Play

public void Play()

Remarks

This method will begin the media if it is not currently active (for instance was loaded without autoplay), or will resume media if it is paused. This method has no effect if the media is currently running.

Platform Notes

Silverlight for Windows Phone

Media files with incorrect extensions do not play back. The extension must match the encoded source.

In the Windows Phone Emulator, playback of video or audio content using the MediaElement control is not supported.

Examples

You can interactively control media playback by using the Play, Pause, and Stop methods of a MediaElement object. The following example defines a MediaElement object and several buttons for controlling media playback.

<Grid>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
        <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="*" />
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    <MediaElement x:Name="media" Source="xbox.wmv" Width="300" Height="300" 
                  Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" />

    <!-- Stops media playback.-->
    <Button Click="StopMedia" 
     Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="1" Content="Stop" />

    <!-- Pauses media playback. -->
    <Button Click="PauseMedia" 
     Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Content="Pause" />

    <!-- Begins media playback. -->
    <Button Click="PlayMedia" 
     Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="1" Content="Play" />

</Grid>

The accompanying code creates several event handlers and uses the Stop, Pause, and Play methods to control the MediaElement.

Run this sample

Private Sub StopMedia(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
    media.Stop()
End Sub

Private Sub PauseMedia(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
    media.Pause()
End Sub

Private Sub PlayMedia(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
    media.Play()
End Sub

private void StopMedia(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    media.Stop();
}
private void PauseMedia(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    media.Pause();
}
private void PlayMedia(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    media.Play();
}
