control media session state in windows in csharp

To control media session state in Windows using C#, you can make use of the System.Media namespace which provides a consistent way to control media playback across different platforms.

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to control media session state:

main.cs
using System.Media;

// Play media
SoundPlayer player = new SoundPlayer(@"C:\audio.wav");
player.Play();

// Pause media
player.Stop();

// Rewind media
player.Play();
player.Stop();
player.Play();

In the example above, SoundPlayer is used to play an audio file. Play method starts the playback, Stop method halts the playback and Play method again resumes the playback from the beginning. These methods can also be called in response to events like button clicks or keyboard shortcuts to create a custom playback control interface.

Note that SoundPlayer only supports a limited number of media formats. If you need to play other formats, you can use a library like NAudio.
