eject a cd/dvd in C#

[reven]

i just spent 2 hours searching google, and i cant seem to find a way to eject a cd/dvd drive in c#. anyone know how to do this?

i need to eject a dvd for the dvd copy method im writing for the moviedb plugin, it creates a dvd iso via dvddecrypter and then i need to eject the dvd and then wait for it to be closed again (i think i can do this with directory.exists method, not sure if it will work on a blank dvd thou) and then open up dvd decrypter again and write the dvd image.

i have to eject the dvd before i open up dvd decrypter again, because if you use the same drive, and a writable dvd isnt in the drive the program will just quit.

i know this isnt really gbpvr related (more C#) but i cant find the answer anywhere and was hoping someone might know.

cheers

You can probably do so by using the mciSendcommand function.

I've used this succesfully in a delphi program, and it should also work for c#, but.. since i'm only a delphi programmer I can't guarantee it.

okay that confused me, still at uni so not the best programmer, hoping someone could give me a link to a few lines of code, or a few lines of code. i tried using the windowsmediaplayer thingy in .net, but threw an exception, ill look into that in more detail later, but if anyone knows the answer to my question and save me some time that would be very appreciated

Here is a CD player app is C#. There is a eject function in there.
