I want to embed the vlc media player in a .NET application I’ve found a lot of solutions

VLC .Net interface <- didn’t work with me
wrappers for dll functions <>
http://vlcdotnet.codeplex.com this is nice
the activex of VLC – i really liked to use it it must be less bugs and errors but errors found

I found 2 controls “VLC ActiveX plugin and IE web plugin v1” , “VLC ActiveX plugin and IE web plugin v2”
What is the difference between them??
i dragged and dropped the fist one and used the following code

axVLCPlugin1.addTarget(@"D:\video\English\10,000.b.c\10000bc.rmvb", null, AXVLC.VLCPlaylistMode.VLCPlayListAppendAndGo, -666);
axVLCPlugin1.play();

that had no effect
i dragged and dropped the second one and used the following code

axVLCPlugin21.playlist.add(@"D:\video\English\10,000.b.c\10000bc.rmvb");
axVLCPlugin21.playlist.play();
//i also tried this
axVLCPlugin21.playlist.playItem(0);

also it had no effect

I didn’t found many details and documentations of the VLC OCX
what is the error ?
