Embed windows media player and possibly others in .net app?

I have a list of media files to choose from in the app. Right now
clicking on it will launch it using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start to
launch whatever appropriate application for that particular file. Since
I know the extension of the file, can I embed media player in the app
instead of having media player popped up and run separately, just like
embedding the media player in the web page with certain functionality
show?

I would like to see the solution once it has been implemented!
Anyway I think you could do some cooking with:
NativeWindow
and Process.MainWindowHandle

Found the way. You need to install the Windows Media Player SDK. It
installs some extra wrapper and shiet like that. Afterward, the WMP
icon shows in the Tool panel to select like any other available tool.
