Hi,

I used to use the following code to play sound in VB6:

Public Declare Function sndPlaySound32 Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA"
_

(ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long

call sndPlaySound32("c:\WinNt\Media\ding.wav", 0)

However, .net don't recognize "call", and generate a syntax error. I just
wonder how to play sound in .net?



Thanks!

CM

re: How to play sound in .net?

try this:

'//Win32API
'//Both integer args and return were originally Longs - .NET Integer = vb6
Long
Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" _
Alias "PlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszName As String, _
ByVal hModule As Integer, _
ByVal dwFlags As Integer) As Integer

Friend Sub PlayAudio(ByVal FileName As String)
'//call win32api function to play audio (wav) file alert
Dim retval As Integer
retval = PlaySound(FileName, 0, 1)
'last param is SND_SYNC as integer
'value set to 0 plays sound Synchronously (waits until sound ends before
playing next)
'value set to 1 plays sound Asynchronously (does not wait to play next
sound)
End Sub
