I am working on Windows 7 based application development in Silverlight. I have not been able to find a way to play a an audio file in windows 7 phone programmatically. I have been googling it since past few days but i could not get any solution of that. There is a class SoundPlayer in C# but i guess its not available in Windows 7 Phone. Can anyone please help?
Use Xna to play the sound. You can cross reference Xna from a Silverlight app though, for playing a sound file, you need to the following:
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio
// ...
Stream stream = TitleContainer.OpenStream("sounds/bonk.wav");
SoundEffect effect = SoundEffect.FromStream(stream);
FrameworkDispatcher.Update();
effect.Play();
All the best for your application development!
How about simply use a built-in behavior?
<Button>
<i:Interaction.Triggers>
<i:EventTrigger EventName="Click">
<eim:PlaySoundAction Source="/Alarm1.wma" Volume="1"/>
</i:EventTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>
</Button>
You need these two namespaces.
xmlns:i="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Interactivity;assembly=System.Windows.Interactivity"
xmlns:eim="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Expression.Interactivity.Media;assembly=Microsoft.Expression.Interactions"
