Question

I’m trying to make an array of MediaPlayers but get a TargetInvocationException when trying to run the following code. Why doesn’t it work?

works:

MediaPlayer _mediaPlayer00 = new MediaPlayer();

MediaPlayer _mediaPlayer01 = new MediaPlayer();

_mediaPlayer00.Open("...");

_mediaPlayer01.Open("...");

dont work:

MediaPlayer[] _mediaPlayers= new MediaPlayer[2];

_mediaPlayers[0].Open("...");

_mediaPlayer[1].Open("...");

another question. Is it possible to use only one mediaplayer for multiple sounds? if yes how?

Answer 1

As far as I know, this is because each MediaPlayer element in the MediaPlayer[] array is null when first initialized, so you must initialize the elements first.

_mediaPlayers[0] = new MediaPlayer();
_mediaPlayers[1] = new MediaPlayer();

_mediaPlayers[0].Open("...");

OR

foreach(MediaPlayer p in _mediaPlayers)
p = new MediaPlayer();
