Play wavs in VB2005.I'm struggle with playing a wav in Visual Basic. First I wanted to use My.Computer.Audio.Play() method but I realized it's not working if I want to have music in background. I found in internet SoundPlayer Class but unfortunately I can't find it in my Visual Studio Application. Whenever I try to use it Dim Player New SoundPlayer ... VS 2005 doesn't find it. What's wrong ? Please help me. Thnaks Regards. -- ZikO GG 5557876 If you search for SoundPlayer in the Object Browser (View / ObjectBrowser),
you'll find that it lives in the System.Media.Soundplayer namespace. The ObjectBrowser is handy for figuring out what you need references to. Robin S.

This is a very new area for me and probably Im doing something wrong. Can someone explain it to me by step by step, please? Thanks so much. -- ZikO GG 5557876 Try adding
Imports System.Media.Soundplayer to the top of your class, before the Class definition. Or go back to the References for your project (double-click on My Project in Solution Explorer and choose the References tab). In the bottom of the window, you see "Imported namespaces". Find System.Media.Soundplay and check the checkbox. (You have to click on it twice; there's a bug in VS2005). This will import it into your entire project.

Anyway, even when I import System.Media by double-click I can't see difference. The tick has appeared besides System.Media but in code window, editor still can't see SoundPlay class. It's really odd. -- ZikO GG 5557876 You're right, it's the System.Media namespace.
If you type in Dim Player as System.Media.Soundplayer does the Intellisense kick in after Media. and show Soundplayer? Open the object browser (View / ObjectBrowser). Search for "soundplayer". Do you see it? Here's a link to an article on msdn about how to use it; this has an example in VB. Is there something about how you're using it that is incorrect? http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.media.soundplayer.aspx What did you mean about not being able to use My.Computer.Audio.Play() because it doesn't play music in the background? Do you mean you want to have it playing while you're doing other stuff, and if you click off of the program, it stops playing?

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/media/en/visualcsharp/AudioPart1CS.wvx There was one missing line: ' Friend WithEvents MyPlayer As New System.Media.SoundPlayer (of course I could use Imports System.Media ...) After this I could work with SoundPlayer class e.g. ' myPlayer.SoundLocation = "/..." ' myPlayer.Play() Without this line SoundPlayer couldn't be recognized by VB. > Open the object browser (View / ObjectBrowser). Yes.> Search for "soundplayer".

Anyway SoundPlayer work very similarly. I think I need to use Windows Media Player, although I wanted to avoid that. Thanks so much for giving me a hand :). I have done it with your help :). Regards. -- ZikO GG 5557876 You're welcome. Good luck.
