 PeterWe can  integrate media into our Silverlight pages and WPF UserControls. The  MediaElement object provides several media-specific properties. The  following list describes the commonly used properties.
 

 
-     AutoPlay: Specifies whether the MediaElement should begin playing automatically. The default value is True.
-     IsMuted: Specifies whether the MediaElement is silenced. A value of True mutes the MediaElement. The default value is False.
-     Stretch:  Specifies how video is stretched to fill the MediaElement object.  Possible values are None, Uniform, UniformToFill, and Fill. The default  is Fill.
-     Volume:  Specifies the volume of the MediaElement object’s audio as a value from  0 to 1, with 1 being the loudest. The default value is 0.5.
In addition to its media-specific properties, MediaElement also has all the properties of a UIElement, such as Opacity and Clip.
Controlling Media Playback
You can control media playback by using the Play, Pause, and Stop methods of a MediaElement object.
