Windows Media Player and ASP.NET (with VB code behind)

[ASPUser]

Hello,
I have 2 questions. Hope someone answer...if possible, please include code
example, please. Thanks in advance.

1. I have ASP.NET page and I placed Windows Media Player in it. It has Play,
Pause, Stop (html)buttons. Is there anyway to programmatically send "play"
command to the WMP from code behind file(vb.NET)? I have
wmp.aspx: there is wmp control and 3 buttoms
wmp.aspx.vb: I would like to play wmp in wmp.aspx by sending "play" command


2. How I can know player.controls.currentPosition value from wmp.aspx.vb
side? I would like to program depending on the
player.controls.currentPosition value from wmp.aspx.vb. Is this possible?
