Getting Started with the ASPNetMediaGUI Control Set

1.  Download and Install the Software

For full instructions, refer to the installation reference.

2.  Using the ASPNetMediaGUI controls for the First Time

Drag the ASPNetMedia GUI control of your choice from the Toolbox onto your ASPX web form in design mode. 

The WebControl will render based on its current display settings.  For PlayList, it can be an invisible, client control or a visible, GridView-based server control.  Button controls will appear as either a Link Button, Button, or Image Button. The MediaLabel WebControl will display text stating whether it will display the current Position, Duration or Volume of the media.

Depending on the control you use, change either the AssociatedControl or MediaPlayer property to point to a the MediaPlayer or PlayList of your choice.

If you're using the PlayList, choose your DisplayMode, and define the PlayListTracks collection to play - either statically or from a data source.  For more details, the PlayList object reference can be found here: Media PlayList object reference.

If you're using a Button, set the ButtonType and any appearance or Button-specific options.  For more details, the Button object reference can be found here: Media Button object reference.

If you're using a MediaLabel, choose what kind of data should be displayed, and the precision of that data.  For more details, the MediaLabel object reference can be found here: Media Label object reference.
