How do I put music/sounds inside your program and play them.

I am wanting to simply insert a sound/music file into my program, and perhaps make a button function to make it play?

What have you come across in your searches? And what hasn't worked, that you've tried already?

to embed a .wav file in your app, add the sound file to my.resources then:

vb Code:

Public Class Form1
 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim sp As New Media.SoundPlayer
        sp.Stream = My.Resources.[resourcename]
        sp.Play()
    End Sub
 
End Class

I found out a different way as well, and works.

1. Upload a music file to your resources.
2. Input this code where you want it:

Code:

---

My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.FILENAME, AudioPlayMode.Background)

---

And feel free to mess around with the "background" part.

This website, like others, is meant to help people. If you don't share your solution, how can others benefit from that knowledge?

This does not apply. Like in the other post, if I just gave the OP the solution, instead of leading him to it, he learns nothing.

I'm willing to provide a solution if the OP puts in some effort and shows that he's at least tried to make an attempt at a solution. Again, you're quoting me out of context.

99% of the other members, including the mods, I think, would agree with me. I didn't withhold the information to hinder learning., which is what that quote was getting at. I didn't provide it, so that learning would progress, but it was in the best possible way.
