Hi, use the following code.


using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
[DllImport("winmm.dll")]
static extern Int32 mciSendString(String command, StringBuilder buffer, Int32 bufferSize, IntPtr hwndCallback);

mciSendString("set CDAudio door open", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
mciSendString("set CDAudio door closed", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);

// Open Drive H:
mciSendString("open H: type CDAudio alias driveH", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
mciSendString("set driveH door open", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
// Open Drive I:
mciSendString("open I: type CDAudio alias driveI", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
mciSendString("set driveI door open", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);

// Close Drive H:
mciSendString("open H: type CDAudio alias driveH", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
mciSendString("set driveH door closed", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
// Close Drive I:
mciSendString("open I: type CDAudio alias driveI", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
mciSendString("set driveI door closed", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
