Executing a keyboard command to the OS

Question

What I am trying to do is execute a media key to the operating system. eg: if a user presses a button, it will change the track in itunes or wmp etc.

I am using .Net in C#.

any help appreciated.

You want to make it appear as though the user pressed one of the media keys on the keyboard?

Use the Windows SendInput function and pass it a KEYBDINPUT structure containing, for instance, VK_MEDIA_NEXT_TRACK.
