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.
