Using WPF Controls in Windows Forms

Hello,

I am trying to make a video player in Visual Basic.NET (visual studio 2012) without using the built in Windows media player.
I saw somewhere that you can create a WPF user control with a MediaElement and then use that in a Windows Form.

Unfortunately i have had very little success in creating my own working control.

I made a WPF User Control Library and made a new user control there with the MediaElement, then proceeded with a Windows Form and placed the MediaElement on it, now comes my problem.
I cannot seem to access the properties of my MediaElement or i am trying in the wrong way.
In particular the source property to add a URI so i can actually play a movie file.

Even when i am trying to access these from .xaml.vb it seems i am doing something wrong.

So i am hoping if someone could show me/tell me exactly what i should be doing to make this work (yes sounds lazy but i swear im not)

I don't have a lot of experience with WPF yet.

Just to tell you what i did.

• Made project - WPF control Library
• Added New control
• Placed a MediaElement on the grid
• Built the project
• Made a project for my windows forms
• Dragged the MediaElement on the form
• Added a menu bar with some code to open a dialog to select a movie file
• Attempting to add the movie file to MediaElement source as URI

I have tried every namespace i think makes sense to access the source property but i must be doing something wrong.
