Playing sounds

Hello,

In VB6, I used an API to play sounds.

Declare Auto Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" (ByVal name
As String, ByVal hmod As Integer, ByVal flags As Integer) As Integer

Public Const SND_SYNC As Long = &H0
Public Const SND_ASYNC As Long = &H1
Public Const SND_FILENAME As Long = &H20000
Public Const SND_RESOURCE As Long = &H40004

Is there a better, more .NET-way, to have the same result in VB.NET, or is it still OK to use the API-call?

Many thanks and greetings from Brugge (Bruges - Belgium),

Michel
 
.NET 2.0 will have a method for playing sound files, but version 1.1 does not. The API's still the way.
