This is the code im thinking of but doesn't work

C#

private void Form1_Load(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        comboBox1.Items.Add(Properties.Resources);
    }

When the form loads I want it to load the all audio recorces that I put in the my system recources

for example
I put (lol.wav) in my system recources, so then (lol) will appear in the combobox's items

This is not a simple thing to do: it involves two parts:
1) Get the names of the audio resources
2) Load them into a combobox.

The second is trivial:

C#

myComboBox.Items.Add(myAudioResourceName);

The first is where the fun is!
You get to get a list of all resources in your assembly:

C#

string[] all = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetManifestResourceNames();

Then, you need to decide if the resource is an audio file or not - it will return a list a of name in the form:

MyProject.MyForm.resources
MyProject.Properties.Resources.resources
MyProject.Resources.mySample.mp3

You will have to pick the audio files out of that!
