Property Value
Type: System.String
A string that specifies the media for the MediaPlayer control.
Remarks
The MediaSource property can be specified as a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).
The media source can be of any type that is supported by Silverlight, which includes .wma, .wmv, .mp3, and .asx. For more information about the media types supported by Silverlight, see Supported Media Formats, Protocols, and Log Fields.
If the MediaSource is set to an .asx file, all media files listed in the file are played in the order they are listed in the file.
The following is an example of an .asx playlist file.
<ASX version = "3.0">
<TITLE>Sample Playlist</TITLE>
<ENTRY>
<TITLE>Halo Video</TITLE>
<REF href="halo.wmv" />
</ENTRY>
<ENTRY>
<TITLE>Expression Studio Video</TITLE>
<REF href="expression.wmv" />
</ENTRY>
</ASX>
If the MediaDefinition is set to a media definition file that has a mediaSource element, that file takes precedence over the media file indicated by the MediaSource property.
For more information about creating client playlists, see ASP.NET MediaPlayer Server Control.
