AxWindowsMediaPlayer.versionInfo property

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The versionInfo property gets a value that specifies the version of the Windows Media Player.

This property is read-only.

    string message = ("Windows Media Player Version: " + player.versionInfo);

    // Display the message. 
    System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(message);
}

Public Sub showVersion_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles showVersion.Click

    ' Build the message containing the version info.
