Playing wavs in c#(extremely noob question))

weerez

Im a beginner at c# and I was looking for code on the net to play wav files. Every bit of code I found used the code below:

[DllImport("winmm")]

When I compile an error occurs on that code. I think (Im probably completely wrong) I might need to get the dll file. I havent a clue how to do this, could someone help me out?

Thanks for that chalk. Just one more question, How do you import/use that in .net? I have never used .dll files before.

if your using visual studio .net 2003 its easy in the solution explorer right click on the project and then click on the add reference. a window opens and you can click on the browse option and find the dll. once this is done you will also need to import(using) the objects in the actual code.

I told ya it was Add Reference... you owe me a Coke!

Adding a reference will only work for COM dll's or .NET assemblies. Winmm.dll isn't either hence the use of the DllImport attribute.
