How to play movies in C # WinForm application

Question

I am trying to play a movie (wmv, avi, mpg, etc.) in a winforms application. I would like the user to be able to start, stop and pause.

I'm not looking for a complete answer ... I just need to point in the right direction. I already did some searches on Google, but could not find anything useful. I can continue the search, but I know that the rocks are community stackoverflow.

So, please point me in the right direction!

Thanks.

One possibility is to use the Forms.WebBrowser class . This will give you a built-in web browser so that you can set what the player and the plugins need.
