The VideoLAN Forums

I'm trying to build a simple video viewer with a button to load a video file.
I had the dll as reference in my project (AxAXVLC & AXVLC)
I had the component to my form
I had a button and I put this code

void OpenVideo()
{
openFileDialog2.InitialDirectory = "C:\\"; // Application.StartupPath;
if (openFileDialog2.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
string NomFilm = openFileDialog2.FileName;
vlcPlayer.addTarget(NomFilm,null, AXVLC.VLCPlaylistMode.VLCPlayListAppend,0);
vlcPlayer.play();
}
}

Why it doesn't work it give me this error
Error displaying player : exception type 'system.widows.axhost+invalidActiveXStateException'

Any ideas?
Thanks

I think my problem from the declaration of my object on my form
the vlcPlayer object is declared like this :

using AxAXVLC;
using AXVLC;
...
private AxVLCPlugin vlcPlayer = new AxVLCPlugin();

but my object on the form is called VLC
I don't know how the make a link between my object on the form and vlcPlayer

thanks

not sure if this will solve it for you, but use v2 of the plugin, v1 is deprecated

Something like private AxVLCPlugin2 vlcPlayer = new AxVLCPlugin2();

Can someone let me know how to use the VLC activeX in C# application?

What dlls are required? i have axvlc.dll but i am not seeing the AxAXVLC.dll anywhere?
