Hi,

If your sound file is a .wav file, you can try this:

C#

protected void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     byte[] result = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes("sound.wav");
     System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream(result);
     ms.Position = 0;
     System.Media.SoundPlayer soundPlayer = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(ms);
     soundPlayer.PlayLooping(); // play the sound file
     // now, display the message in the other textbox
     soundPlayer.Stop(); // stop playing the sound
}

If your audio file isn't a .wav file, then have a look here:

You can also convert your audio file to a .wav file.
Have a look at this list of audio conversion software[^].

Hope this helps.

hello...not worked,,,,following error display

URI formats are not supported.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: URI formats are not supported.

Line 19: System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream(result);

Change
byte[] result = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes("http://localhost:13769/ASPNETCHAT/sound.au");
into
byte[] result = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(Server.MapPath("/ASPNETCHAT/sound.au"));
But this will only work for .wav files. I'll try to find a solution for a .au file.

Thomas Daniels 5-Jan-13 11:31am

It's possible to convert your .au file to a .wav file. There're a lot of audio converters. Here's a list of audio conversion software.

Hi,
I saw your question here.
I agree with Zoltán Zörgő. I didn't find another answer, I'm sorry.

but i'm not use any html encode code..so how can i solve......

Thomas Daniels 5-Jan-13 12:01pm

Do you mean that you want to use bold text in your code file?

Cto Manav Parasrampuria 5-Jan-13 13:25pm

yeah..i want that "user" should be bold in .cs file ....

Thomas Daniels 5-Jan-13 13:27pm

Not possible. A C# file is just text, no markup. Visual Studio highlights text. And Visual Studio highlights only keywords, classes and digits.
