c# - Playing sounds in WPF as a resource -

this question has answer here:

• how play wpf sound file resource 2 answers

first of all, i've searched site , looked @ this unfortunately did not me much.

whenever click frog image made, want play .wav file resource. here's code:

void newfrog_mouseup(object sender, mousebuttoneventargs e) {     system.media.soundplayer player = new system.media.soundplayer(@"g:\cosr3s\frogsandlilypads\frogsandlilypads\sounds\frogcroak.wav");     player.play(); } 

of course worked problem directory changes computer computer, thought i'd have play resource. don't know how that. new programmer, keep in mind.

i tried few variations based on aforementioned link , played around it. examples:

void newfrog_mouseup(object sender, mousebuttoneventargs e) {     uri uri = new uri(@"pack://application:,,,/sounds/frogcroak.wav");     var player = new mediaplayer();     player.open(uri);     player.play(); } 

i tried doing this, although thought 1 wouldn't work, tried anyway:

void newfrog_mouseup(object sender, mousebuttoneventargs e) {     uri uri = new uri(@"pack://application:,,,/sounds/frogcroak.wav");     system.media.soundplayer player = new system.media.soundplayer(uri);     player.play(); } 

i not sure if "pack://application:,,," refer file being played.

i tried make if image, so:

void newfrog_mouseup(object sender, mousebuttoneventargs e) {     system.media.soundplayer player = new system.media.soundplayer(new uri(@"pack://application:,,,/sounds/frogcroak.wav", urikind.relativeorabsolute));     player.play(); } 

so instead of new bitmapimage did new system.media.soundplayer , find out wouldn't work way.

edit: forgot mention worked, did not play sound.

void newfrog_mouseup(object sender, mousebuttoneventargs e) {     uri uri = new uri(@"pack://application:,,,/sounds/frogcroak.wav");     var player = new mediaplayer();     player.open(uri);     player.play(); } 

edit2: possible duplicate technically didn't solve problem, according accepted answer not possible. there other way play audio using different method?

this works me using visual studio 2013 command line application:

• embed .wav file resource (resources.resx) in project
  • i used add resource existing file
  • set persistence file 'linked @ compile time'

• reference file code using this. timer namespace code , notificationsound called embedded sound:

  var notificationsound = new soundplayer(timer.properties.resources.notificationsound); notificationsound.playsync(); 

this allowed me play sound application after moving executable , renaming original sound file (just check embedded).
