Building a Silverlight 2.0 Media Player: Part II Adding the MediaElement and Wiring up the Navigation
So now we have the cool navigation with slick animation. This tutorial assumes you have a media file on your local hard drive (avi or wmv) and that you have read Part I of this series. Now let’s start by adding the MediaElement:
- Open the project in Blend 2.5 June Preview
- Click the Asset Library button on the tool bar (is the last one on the bottom) and in the Search field start to type Media and when you see Media Element click it like I am doing in Figure 1.
