Rob was kind enough to solicit feedback on “Avalon“ in WinFX. It just so happens that my wife and I were taking a look at the new Avalon application templates in VS.NET 2005. She is a graphic artist and is familiar with HTML and I was telling her about XAML, so we wrote the following:
<Window x:Class="VideoTest.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/xaml" xmlns:x="Definition" Text="VideoTest">
<Canvas>
<Video ID="v1" Source="C:\Documents and Settings\Sean\My Documents\Visual Studio\Projects\VideoTest\VideoTest\pinkey.wmv"/>
Canvas>
Window>
We kept getting an exception, so I tried Source="http:///pinkey.wmv" and that also threw an exception. I also dragged and dropped the pinkey.wmv file into the project and used Source="pinkey.wmv" and again...we got an exception.
So my wife asks, "Hey why did that happen?" So I said, "Well, see it's because...hmmm...I dunno." What gives, how do I get the "Pinky the cat" video to play? Thoughts? :-)
