Part of My code:
C#
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Text;

[DllImport("winmm.dll")]
        private static extern long mciSendString(
            string command,
            StringBuilder returnValue,
            int returnLength,
            IntPtr winHandle);

private void OpenMediaFile(string file)
        {
            string Command = "Open \"" + file +
                                "\" type mpegvideo alias hello";
            mciSendString(Command, null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
            mciSendString("Play hello", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
        }


        private void Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            OpenMediaFile(input1.Text.ToString()); //input1 is a textbox
