I wanted to develop a video player for Windows mobile using C#; can anyone direct me in correct direction to look for all the help I would be requiring in this topic. Please send me links and your comments in this direction. Thank you in advance.

Save yourself a lot of trouble and use the OpenNetCF Media Player Controls from http://www.opennetcf.com/Products/Controls/MediaPlayerControls/tabid/264/Default.aspx

The alternative is A LOT of pInvoke.

If you really, really must do this yourself and cannot use any third party libraries you will probably want to host media player as an activeX control. Details of how to do this at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446515.aspx.
Be warned. This is not straight forward. Use the built in media player or third party controls if you possibly can.

Note that there is a bug in the MSDN ActiveX Hosting code. A patch is available here: http://blog.opennetcf.com/ctacke/2008/08/14/BugInMSDNActiveXHostingCode.aspx

I think his point is that if you value your time, looking at commercial products makes sense. You didn't implement the OS yourself either - so you've already accepted that you can't do everything. He also gave you links to everything you need to get started doing it yourself.

For the record, this should not be an answer, but a Comment on Matt's post.
