Public Sub playButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles playButton.Click

    ' To get all of the available functionality of the player controls, Dim the
    ' value returned by player.Ctlcontrols as a WMPLib.IWMPControls3 interface.
    Dim controls As WMPLib.IWMPControls3 = player.Ctlcontrols

    ' Check first to be sure the operation is valid. 
    If (controls.isAvailable("play")) Then

        controls.play()

    End If

End Sub
