# How to: Play Media using a VideoDrawing
|
|
To play an audio or video file, you use a <xref:System.Windows.Media.VideoDrawing> and a <xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer>. There are two ways to load and play media. The first is to use a <xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer> and a <xref:System.Windows.Media.VideoDrawing> by themselves, and the second way is to create your own <xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaTimeline> to use with the <xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer> and <xref:System.Windows.Media.VideoDrawing>.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> When distributing media with your application, you cannot use a media file as a project resource, like you would an image. In your project file, you must instead set the media type to `Content` and set `CopyToOutputDirectory` to `PreserveNewest` or `Always`.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
The following example uses a <xref:System.Windows.Media.VideoDrawing> and a <xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer> to play a video file once.
|
|
|
|
[!code-csharp[DrawingMiscSnippets_snip#VideoDrawingExampleInline](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/DrawingMiscSnippets_snip/CSharp/VideoDrawingExample.cs#videodrawingexampleinline)]
|
|
|
|
To gain additional timing control over the media, use a <xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaTimeline> with the <xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer> and <xref:System.Windows.Media.VideoDrawing> objects. The <xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaTimeline> enables you to specify whether the video should repeat.

|
## Example
|
|
The following example uses a <xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaTimeline> with the <xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer> and <xref:System.Windows.Media.VideoDrawing> objects to play a video repeatedly.
|
|
|
|
[!code-csharp[DrawingMiscSnippets_snip#RepeatingVideoDrawingExampleInline](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/DrawingMiscSnippets_snip/CSharp/VideoDrawingExample.cs#repeatingvideodrawingexampleinline)]
|
|
|
|
Note that, when you use a <xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaTimeline>, you use the interactive <xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.ClockController> returned from the <xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Clock.Controller%2A> property of the <xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaClock> to control media playback instead of the interactive methods of <xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer>.
