Hi !

How can I play "standard system sounds" in C# ?

( "standard system sounds" = The kind of sound you hear when you use MessageBox.Show() )

Thanks !

Assuming you are using .NET 2.0 you can use SystemSounds class:

System.Media.SystemSounds.Asterisk.Play();

SystemSounds class also has other members Beep, Hand and Question.

Steph,

As VJ pointed out for .NET 1.x besides simple beeps that can be made using Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll (some people have problems referencing this dll in C# application, but it is still a managed assembly installed along with the framework) there is no way playing sounds wihtout resorting to native API and PInvoke.

If you are using .NET1.x and decide to go for native API take a look at the MessageBeep method.

This, http://www.codeproject.com/cs/media/PlaySounds1.asp, shows you exactly what you want to know. It is .NET 1.x code, but it is insanely easy in .NET 2.0 to play system sounds. They took out all the Interop fun! ;(
