MediaElement is a control used in Expression Blend for playing Videos and this thread is related to WPF Windows Application rather than Silverlight.

I am working on a project and i am using Media Element control in the same for playing movies. The code that plays the movie in Blend goes like this

MediaElement.Source = URI;  
MediaElement.Play();

But the solution that i want is to play a video FileStream into the MediaElement Control rather than the URI. My Questions are

Is it possible to play a video FileStream into the Media Element Control?  
If yes how do we approach the same?  
How will the code go?
