How to play a WPF Sound File resource

Question

I am trying to play a sound file in my WPF application. Currently I have the following call:

private void PlaySound(string uriPath)
{
    Uri uri = new Uri(@         


        

Answer 1

The following seems to work in .NET Framework 4.5:

var sri = Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("pack://application:,,,/MyAssemblyName;component/Resources/CameraShutter.wav"));

if ((sri != null)) 
{
  using (s == sri.Stream) 
  {
    System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(s);
    player.Load();
    player.Play();
  }
}

CameraShutter.wav is embedded as Resource in my project (and resides inside Resources subfolder, as indicated in the pack URI).
