path to sound file. how to remove "@" from file path? need "\\" instead.

[Serdge Kooleman]

hi

i'm trying to play sounds in my windows app.
wav files are in the same folder as .exe

if i'm getting path by command:
ApplicationPath = Application.Sta rtupPath;

and it is look like

@"C:\Documen ts and Settings\Sergiy \My Documents\Visua l Studio
Projects\SE\bin \Debug\SoundWro ng.wav"

so my sounds not playing!

when i manually typed path: "C:\\Doc\\mysou nd.wav" it is started to work.

how to convert path with @ to the string with double \\?

to play sound i use function:

[DllImport("winm m.dll")]

private static extern bool PlaySound( string lpszName, int hModule, int
dwFlags );

thank you

The @ is not actually part of the string. It's simply an indicator that "\"
shouldn't be treated as an escape character.

I suspect the real problem your string isn't being built correctly.

For example, the strings:

"C:\\Doc\\mysou nd.wav"
and
@"C:\Doc\mysoun d.wav"

are exactly the same thing.
