CD Burning with VB.NET

Hi,

I am looking for a way to burn CDs from VB.NET application. I have
found a lot of posts asking about that but the links provided are
mostly dead. There is IMAPI but as far as I know, it is not easy to
use with VB.NET.

So I am looking for a library or any method that will allow me to burn
CDs including burning multiple copies of one CD.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
drabina

I don't know of a managed library that can do this. It's possible, but
it would require better knowledge of C / C++ than what I have to
convert the routines.

Anyways, codeproject did have have an article on how to do it with C /
C++ so you might start there:

I use a product called CopyToDVD to do this. It does come with its own
front end application, but all burning operations are also available
via the command line, so it is real wasy to write your own burning app
with it. Just Google CopyToDVD. It's also pretty cheap.

I believe that vbAccelerator.com has some code that might help you on the
way:
