Sound in C#

[darxpan]

I want to make an alarm clock program, but I can't find a way to play sounds except using DirectX, which I want to avoid for this project. How can I play sounds outside without DirectX?

You could try this:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;


[DllImport("winmm.dll")]
private static extern bool PlaySound( string lpszName, int hModule, int dwFlags );

When you make a call to the method it will look something like:

PlaySound ("MyFile.wav", null, 1);

Here is a url with that goes into this item a little deeper than I did.

Good Luck.
