playing a sound

Hello people,

i was just wondering if anyone knew how i could play a sound off my programe, i want a sound file to play when a winner on my program gets the jackpot!

my code atm is

VB Code:

If TotalWinner6 = 6 Then
MessageBox.Show("Winner!!! MILLIONAIRE!!! for " & objCurrentRow("LastName"))
End If

Any help on this would be very gratful

Cheers

take a look at the PlaySound Api , here's a quick example i knocked together for you ...

VB Code:

Private Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "PlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszName As String, ByVal hModule As Int32, ByVal dwFlags As Int32) As Int32
    Private Const SND_FILENAME As Int32 = &H20000
 
    Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
        Dim TotalWinner6 As Integer = 6
 
        If TotalWinner6 = 6 Then
            Dim thrd As New Threading.Thread(AddressOf WinnerSound)
            thrd.Start() '/// set a new thread to play the sound file ( to allow the message box to show at the same time as the sound plays )
            MessageBox.Show("we have a winner!")
        End If
 
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub WinnerSound()
        PlaySound("C:\WINDOWS\MEDIA\Windows XP Startup.wav", 0, SND_FILENAME)
    End Sub
