Hello

Is there any class or method in .NET for playing Sounds ( wav, mp3 etc) ? Or it is needed to call an API function

Thanks,

Hi Nikos,

You can check this thread, this is from the newsgroup
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

A better place to ask it, however I never saw real great answers, you can
also think about downloading the mediaplayer SDK

However better is to ask this kind of questions in the newsgroup I did
pointed you on above.

I hope this helps?

I agree with Cor. If you just want to play wav files, than you can P/Invoke
the playsound api. If you know the name of the player, you can use
Process.Start passing in the player and the file. Or you can use DirectX
which also entails some pretty heavy P/Invoking.
