iTunes Events Problems

[sowiebinich]

I'm using the iTunes SDK in Visual C#, and it's going great except for the event handling.

I've seen the following code a million times:

using iTunesLib;
...
iTunesApp app = new iTunesAppClass();
app.OnPlayerPlayEvent += new _IiTunesEvents_OnPlayerPlayEventEventHandler(app_OnPlayerPlayEvent);
...
public void app_OnPlayerPlayEvent(object iTrack)
{
   ...
}
 

And no matter how I work with it, it's still not working. At least not most of the time. It will work if I put a breakpoint on app_OnPlayerPlayEvent and then execute it up to the breakpoint. At this point, I get an error saying that all these various member functions have been disabled because another method timed out. I continue execution and it works, but only about 20% of the time. It likes to get to the breakpoint and then not execute any of the code inside of the function.

Is anyone else having similar problems?

Just an extra note:

For added weirdness, I had downloaded both a compiled version and the source for a "Now Playing"-type dock widget, and the compiled version works fine, but when I compile the source, no dice. I even tried compiling it doing nothing but opening the project file they provided, and still nothing.

Is this a problem with my environment? I know there are a number of other people who are having similar problems.
