I am implementing according the tutorials but the that is not working here I am sending my code please find out what is problem. Tell me what is the difference between media element and media player in Silverlight?

here is the code of .aspx page

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<%@ Register Assembly="System.Web.Silverlight"  Namespace="System.Web.UI.SilverlightControls" TagPrefix="asp" %>

<%@ Register assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" amespace="AjaxControlToolkit"  tagprefix="cc1" %>    


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head runat="server">
        <title>SILVERLIGHT MEDIA PLAYER | DEMO</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <div id="xx" runat="server"></div>
        <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />    

            <div>
                <div style="float:left">
                    <asp:DropDownList ID="cmbSkins" runat="server" 
                    onselectedindexchanged="cmbSkins_SelectedIndexChanged" />
                </div>               
                <div><h3>SELECT PLAYER STYLE</h3></div>
            </div>

            <asp:MediaPlayer ID="MediaPlayer1" runat="server" 
                Width="600px" 
                Height="440px"
                PlaceholderSource="http://www.webinfocentral.com/VIDEO/JJ2008/ImgMain.JPG">                  
            </asp:MediaPlayer>
            <hr />            
            <hr />    
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

and this the code behind page:

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected enum MediaPlayerSkins
{
    AudioGray,
    Basic,
    Classic,
    Console,
    Expression,
    Futuristic,
    Professional,
    Simple
}   

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        MediaPlayer1.AutoPlay = true;
        MediaPlayer1.ScaleMode = System.Web.UI.SilverlightControls.ScaleMode.Zoom;

        cmbSkins.Items.Add(MediaPlayerSkins.Classic.ToString());
        cmbSkins.Items.Add(MediaPlayerSkins.Console.ToString());
        cmbSkins.Items.Add(MediaPlayerSkins.Expression.ToString());
        cmbSkins.Items.Add(MediaPlayerSkins.Futuristic.ToString());
        cmbSkins.Items.Add(MediaPlayerSkins.Professional.ToString());
        cmbSkins.Items.Add(MediaPlayerSkins.AudioGray.ToString());
        cmbSkins.Items.Add(MediaPlayerSkins.Simple.ToString());
        cmbSkins.AutoPostBack = true;
        cmbSkins.SelectedIndex = 4;

        MediaPlayer1.MediaSource = Server.MapPath("~/") + "Wildlife.wmv";
        xx.InnerHtml = Server.MapPath("~/") + "Wildlife.wmv";
        MediaPlayer1.MediaSkinSource = "~/MediaPlayerSkins/" + cmbSkins.SelectedValue + ".xaml";
    }
}


protected void cmbSkins_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    MediaPlayer1.MediaSkinSource = "~/MediaPlayerSkins/" + cmbSkins.SelectedValue + ".xaml";
}

}

I don’t know anything about Silverlight and this is done using a article, I only changed the source of player nothing else and this is not working.

One question is arising in my mind that which is the best for playing video flash player or this one while we have a low bandwidth internet connection. Please tell me some useful solution?

Thanks

    guys i found why it was not working i am missing the proper source path that should be “~/MediaFile.wmv” instead of server.mappath(….).
