Sound....

[coldfusion244]

Hi,

I am new to .NET, and I want to incorporate sound into my application. In VS6.0 I used the API SndPlaySound to play wave audio files. Is there a feature built into .NET to allow sounds? The second part of my question is can you hear sounds using SndPlaySound API or the .NET built in sound functions even if youre in the middle of playing a DirectX based game. Should I just use DirectSound?

Thank you guys

Sounds are only built in to .NET 2005, but you should be able to hear the sounds if you are using a DirectX-based game (unless the DirectX Sound drowns it out ).

You can use [api]PlaySound[/api] to Play WAVE files. Youll just have to change the declarations Longs to Integers.

WHAT? Cant they just release a damn framework upgrade for this (For 2003), its not like were all rich and we can afford buying .NET almost every year.
