Solution 1

Try this

C#

private void play()
{
SoundPlayer sound = new SoundPlayer(YourNameSpace.Properties.Resources.FileName);
sound.Play();
}

I found that in this blog[^]

I get this error

Error 2 The type or namespace name 'SoundPlayer' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\Users\Kyle\AppData\Local\Temporary Projects\OneSound\Form1.cs 21 37 OneSound

See at the error you got. It is very discriptive and it tells you exactly what you need to do. Don't you agree.

PlaySound is in this namespace - System.Media
PlaySound is in this assembly - System.dll

check the reference http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.media.soundplayer.aspx

The rest is left to you as an exercise.

*descriptive, and what is it with people like you (Yusef) who can't be bothered to indicate the using statements which C# code needs, in order to compile and run? The error does *not* "tell you exactly what you need to do"
