Playing and sound file with vb.net code?

I want to Play a specific sound file in my code when a certain event happens, but i don't know how. I can play the system sounds in my program and I know how to start the media player to play an mp3 but I want to be able to play the sound file without an external player. Is there any other way of playing a sound file in vb.net code when an event is fired?

Take a look at System.Media.SoundPlayer class. You can easily load and play wav files using it.

Hope this help.
