unable to drag and drop windows media player control from the visual studio toolbox

[praveenkumarm]

Hi,

i want to play a vedio clip in my web page.ihave added a media player control to the visual studio toolbox using the following procedure.

Right click in the toolbox,select Choose items from the drop down,select Com Components tab from the dialog box and then check the corresponding checkbox for windows media player and then click ok.

I can see the control added to the tool box but is in a disabled state.I found it is working fine with windows form but when used with web forms it is displayed in the toolbox but in a disabled state.

why doesn't it work with web forms?
