MediaStreamSource.CloseMedia Method
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
The MediaElement can call this method when going through normal shutdown or as a result of an error. This lets the developer perform any needed cleanup of the MediaStreamSource.

Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Remarks
Removing a MediaElement from the UI tree will trigger a state transition to Closed. However, the CloseMedia method is not guaranteed to be called in this case. To ensure CloseMedia is called, set the MediaElement.Source property to nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) prior to detaching it from the UI tree.
