C# Data burning code snippet

amro · **Posted:** Tue Jan 03, 2006 4:58 pm

Hi,

I'm new to the StarBurn SDK and have a few questions such that I may incorporate its great features into my software. Sadly I'm also new to .net programming, although C# has been very easy to pick up so far (my application, except for burning, is pretty much completely implemented).

1) Could anyone point me to a basic code snippet for burning a list of files to a cd/dvd in C#? Sessionless recording is fine, I do not need multisession support, if it makes it easier. Thanks in advance, I know this is a big one.

2) I am using MS Visual Studio 2005. When I copy the 2 main Starburn SDK dlls into my project folder and attempt to add them as references, VS.net 2005 gives an error. Is there an incompatibility w/ VS.net 2005 or (more likely) am I doing something incorrectly?

My order of operations for this is Project menu ---> Add Reference ---> Browse tab ---> Select both Starburn.dll and WnASPI32.dll, then hit ok.

The error basically says that a reference couldn't be added and to make sure the file is accessible and "that it is a valid assembly or COM component."

Thanks in advance for all of the help.

Amro,

Alex who is maintaining StarBurn SDK COM wrapper would handle this for you

Thanks!

Currently, we have C# sample to burn DVD-Video discs from files. And JavaScript sample of creating and burning Joliet Data discs from files.
Take a look at StarBurn.JolietImage object.

Please, don't do that. There is a StarBurn.OCX (COM wrapper of StarBurn SDK) which can be used from C#/VB/JavaScript.
