You need to have the dll's plug in for vlc player.
1. You cna install the vlc media player in to your system. As it is the ActiveX control, it will generate some dll's
2. These dlls will be used in your application for getting the reference.
3. Now you need to register the ActiveX component using the below method:
Go to the Toolbox/Choose item -> select COM register -> check the checkbox in front VLC Plug-in"
As it is already installed so this option should be available to check.
4. Drag item onto your form
Now you can write the code for play/stop.

First, know that CodeProject is always your friend: just search in Google using:

site: codeproject.com

To find several useful articles.

There are several libraries that will wrap the VLC Control so you can use it in .NET; for example: [^], [^], [^]. Two part series: [^], [^].

If I were going to use one of these libraries, I'd review all of them, looking to see which one is updated most recently, which one shows the author(s) responding to user feedback most recently, and which one seems like one you could work with.
