Rajesh,

I am not positive, but you can check to see if the PlaySound API
function is there.

Hope this helps.

Hi Rajesh,

The CF has no support for multimedia, you have to P/Invoke them , I'm using
the below declaration:

[DllImport("coredll")]
public static extern bool PlaySoundW( string szSound, int hMod, int flags );

PlaySoundW("bing.wav", 0, 0x00000001);


IIRC in the quickstart of gotdotnet you have an example ( maybe the same
above), this is the url:
http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/CompactFramework/

Hope this help,

You can write the code yourself using the PlaySound API
(http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/CompactFramework/doc/playsounds.asp
x)
or you can use the Multimedia Library at www.opennetcf.org which wraps this
for you. The first one will work, but the OpennetCF implementation gives
you a lot more power to do other things.

If you are new to CF programming, I highly recommend the quickstarts above,
as well as www.opennetcf.org and www.devbuzz.com All of them have some
excellent information
