Referencing WMP under .NET

Question

I can add the reference to Windows Media Player, but I don't get to the point where I could say

Dim newPlayList As WMPLib.IWMPPlaylist = wmpControl.playlistCollection.newPlaylist("soundsToPlay")

The WMPLib seems to be missing.

I can drag the WindowsMediaPlayer onto a form, but the WMPLib is missing for me.

Thank you very much!

It can be found under the COM tab in the Add reference dialog. — M.Babcock, May 26 '16 at 22:17
It's called Windows Media Player in my list. If it doesn't show up then confirm it's installed. — M.Babcock, May 26 '16 at 22:29
But I'm still having a problem. IWMPPlaylist is not found. I thought it would automatically be available when I add the Windows Media Player reference. — Maiken Roskilde, May 29 '16 at 17:03

Ah, I got it. I had to rightclick the Toolbox bar and choose "COM" -> "Windows Media Player". Referencing it did not work.

Then I had to say

Dim nPlayLists As WMPLib.IWMPPlaylistArray = Me.wmp1.playlistCollection.getAll 'IWMPPlaylistArray

But this still doesn't work:

For Each nP As WMPLib.IWMPPlaylist In nPlayLists

The error I'm getting is "nPlayLists is not an enumeration".
