You can use it and embed it freely, as long as you mention the original source.

Thanks for your interest!

Been trying to build a windows metrenome using WPF/XAML. Came across yours, demo'd it, and thought i may have found a solution to the probelm i've been having wiht timers and multimedia timers.

When i tied your ideas of checking the difference in time, it worked, but still having issues.

The probelm I am having is when something else occurs on the processor, the click lags or skews from being anywhere near precise. I ran your your version again and tried loading windows and other tabs in IE, and got some lag and skewing but no where near what I an getting wiht the windows version.

Did i miss anything in your code that gives the media element or events are given more priority on the processor?

I wanted to learn Silverlight / WPF and this is one of the applications I had in mind to do it.
Thank you for posting!

Hi Martin

I love this metronome and would like to add it to my production music teaching web site. Is that OK with you? I'll happily post an acknowledgement to you.

Thank you for writing this great article. I would also like to note that it seams the source code is missing something. Am I just crazy or did you forget to add some components that are necessary for the program to compile? At any rate as a developer I appreciate you taking the time to teach all of us this.

Thanks, Matt (Visual Basic 6)

Works great on Vista but no sound on XP with service pack 2 running I.E. 6. Or if there is sound it is sporadic. Seems to be an silverlight plugin problem with XP but I haven't found any info on a solution

Being a musician gives me an advantage with regards to tempo.

Being a programmer gives me an interest in learning about silverlight.

To clarify:

"Tick.wma" was 'added' to the SilverlightMetronome VS2008 project.

"Tick.wma" file was also added to the same directory as the xap.

I changed: Value="Tick.wma"

I changed BuildAction for "Tick.wma" file properties to: Content.

I pasted "Tick.wma" into same file as xap

I rebuilt.

I have audio!

Tkanks!

@Perry tell me please what is missing so I can add it! :)

@Dave for some reason I couldn't use the audio file while placed in the xap, so I placed it int the web application and set the absolute path to it as source of the media element. See if you run the web application on the same port, if not change the url. If I find a way to use an audio file from inside the xap I will share it! :)

P.S. Thanks for the good words, I'm glad you like it! :)

I ran this using VS2008 - everything fine except audio file does not load.

Here is the code in Metronom.xaml

Setter Property="Source" Value="http://localhost:53474/Tick.wma" />

How can I include Tick.wma without using localhost?

The source code seems to be missing some components....still kool though!
