I am in need of a component or control that can read a DVD and play it back either on the current window, on another window, or in an arbitrary position on-screen (to be indicated programmatically). There do not need to be any user-visible controls on it; the app will handle that separately. Where do I need to turn?

FYI, I'm using .Net 3.5 in a winforms application.

I feel like I'm probably missing something simple, but it is escaping me. ;-)

You can use a Windows Media Player control. The example is in VB.NET, but you should be able to translate very easily.
