Hi,

Sorry for crosspost.

I need to play MP3 files from my .NET 2.0 SP1 C# WinForm app.

I tried referencing Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback; and creating Audio
class for playback. But I get the following error which is beyod my ability
to comprehend.

[
DLL
'C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\Microsoft.DirectX\1.0.2902.0__31bf3856ad364e35\Microsoft.DirectX.dll'
is attempting managed execution inside OS Loader lock. Do not attempt to run
managed code inside a DllMain or image initialization function since doing
so can cause the application to hang.
]

How do I do this. Please help.
