how do you play a MIDI in vb.net?
preferably witout the use of a mediaplayer

the sound is titled

MainTheme.mid and is found in the bin folder


i want to play it without the use of many sysyem resouces

Use this APi function:
mciSendString

wait a minute, how do u call APIs in vb.net
i havent seen it anywhere!! I didnt know you could do that

Read the thread MIDI player, and there you will find an example on how to call APIs, there are several changes on how to do it, I recommend you to read the MSDN Library regarding about API in VS .NET

hmm

yea but, without "going online" and searching for a specific API, i just want to access a library or APIs on my PC, i could do that in VB6 but i cant now
