Setting the LoadedBehaviour and UnloadedBehaviour of MediaElement WPF Application(C#)

Question

I am playing a video in a MediaElement in a WPF application. However when I am programatically invoking the Play() , Pause() or Stop() I get an error message saying:

Cannot control media unless LoadedBehavior or UnloadedBehavior is set to Manual.

I have no idea about it.

Can someone tell me how can these be set to MANUAL?

In XAML you can set the value to the properties like this:

<MediaElement x:Name="player"
              LoadedBehavior="Manual"
              UnloadedBehavior="Stop" ... />                  

Or using code behind:

player.LoadedBehavior = MediaState.Manual;
player.UnloadedBehavior = MediaState.Stop;
