Hi,

As soon as you rely on external components (i.c. WMP) several things could go wrong: WMP may not be installed, or it may be disabled (maybe this[^] could help), or you are trying to use a WMP browser plug-in that isn't installed (possibly by using the WebBrowser Control).

As such possibilities exist, your code should be such that it gracefully degrades, so the least you should do is catch exceptions and report to the user in functional terms; what I tend to always do is include a log facility that reports to the programmer in technical terms. Furthermore, if you were to use some operation that may never terminate, you should figure out a way to give it a timeout anyway.

FWIW: if you access Controls on a thread that didn't create them, all kind of weird things may happen, and not necessarily in a reproducible way.

Hope this helps,

Smile | :)
