Is it possible to play a sound in VB.Net ?
And how do you do that ?

Thx
 
VB.NET:
 This example plays a sound from a file.

  [b]Example[/b]

 Public Class SoundClass
   Declare Auto Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" (ByVal name _
      As String, ByVal hmod As Integer, ByVal flags As Integer) As Integer
   ' name specifies the sound file when the SND_FILENAME flag is set.
   ' hmod specifies an executable file handle.
   ' hmod must be Nothing if the SND_RESOURCE flag is not set.
   ' flags specifies which flags are set. 

   ' The PlaySound documentation lists all valid flags.
   Public Const SND_SYNC = &H0          ' play synchronously
   Public Const SND_ASYNC = &H1         ' play asynchronously
   Public Const SND_FILENAME = &H20000  ' name is file name
   Public Const SND_RESOURCE = &H40004  ' name is resource name or atom

   Public Sub PlaySoundFile(ByVal filename As String)
      ' Plays a sound from filename.
      PlaySound(filename, Nothing, SND_FILENAME Or SND_ASYNC)
   End Sub
End Class

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
      ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
   Dim SoundInst As New SoundClass()
   SoundInst.PlaySoundFile("C:\ringout.wav")
End Sub

[b]Compiling the Code[/b]

  This example requires:
-A reference to the System namespace.
-A button named Button1.
