Beep

[Paul DeWitt]

I am new to .net and C#. Is there a way to initiate a default beep sound
effect?

Thanks

[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
public static extern bool Beep(int freq,int duration);

Use '\a' ('a' for Alert):

namespace Beep {
class Program {
static void Main(string[] args) {
Console.WriteLine("\a");
}
}
}

Ho hum.... so boring... Try this instead:

1. Install DirectX 9.0 SDK
2. Create a Windows Forms application
3. Add a reference to Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound
4. Add the following code:

using Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound;
....
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Device dev = new Device();
dev.SetCooperativeLevel(this,CooperativeLevel.Norm al);
BufferDescription buffer_desc = new BufferDescription();
SecondaryBuffer buffer = new SecondaryBuffer(
@"C:\WINDOWS\Media\ding.wav",
buffer_desc,
dev);
buffer.Play(0,BufferPlayFlags.Default);
}

Or use any wav file you like -- Live a little!!!!
