Using 2005 VB.net express; I've also downloaded WMP SDK and put a single WMP
player control on my (Windows application) form.

I'm going to be playing multiple AVI videos in the WMP control, using other
controls on my form to select which AVI file is "loaded" (associated) with
the WMP control.

as a newbie, I want to code appropriately- when I assign a new video
(associated filename) to the WMP control, do I need to do anything to
"release" any memory associated with the last video, or is that done
automatically?

Thank you!
