How do we embed windows media player to compact framework windows application?

In CF 1.0, we didn’t have the support to directly access native COM Objects, so your best answer would be a 3^rd Party COM Implementation or writing your own native wrapper around the COM Object that would export the functions you’re interested in so they could be P/Invoke’d.

In V2, we offer COM Interop, but no ActiveX hosting “out of the box”. You can, however, write the managed code to host the ActiveX control yourself. I have to warn you that writing an ActiveX host is an advanced undertaking. The blog entry here (specifically, Point 12) has some good V2 interop information and this blog entry has some general information about hosting native controls on a managed form.

We expect some 3rd parties will provide ActiveX hosting solutions built on top of V2.

I hope this helps,
