How to get current frame?

Question

I would like to send to another app current frame (number). Is it possible to access it in axWindowsMediaPlayer control?

Is all the code yours or third party tools (source code less) involved? — Nayan, Nov 02 '11 at 20:07

I didn't see anything about this on axWindowsMediaPlayer control.

But you can use FrameGrabber project to extract frames from a movie. FrameGrabber is an open-source library written in c# and it is easy to use.

Hope this helps.

This may be an old thread, but I feel like the question did not properly get answered. This may not be the "frame number" but it does give you a "position" of the video that you could pass. I am using it to sync two videos. This is for a media player that has already been added to a VB form called AxWindowsMediaPlayer1. I am sure something similar can be called in C#

Dim position As Double 
position = AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.currentPosition
