Hi all,

I got stuck when I tried to play a wav file in my c# smart device application.
The exception is "Could not find a part of the path '\C:\Users\Desktop\test.wav'."
I've tried with copying the wav file to emulator's "my Document\my music" and changed
soundLocation according to that path,but doesn't work. And also I copied wav file into myProject's debug folder..no change.

Plz help.

my code is

C#

{
    System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer();
    player.SoundLocation = @"C:\Users\Desktop\test.wav";
    player.Play();
}

Thanks.

I too forgot that the real location of desktop is C:\Users\Username\Desktop" and not C:\Users\Desktop ....... Very well done sir... but I guess he has tried other locations also....

Hi Friend,
There is a simple mistake in the url you are giving to the player object.
As you know anything after a forward slash "\" is considered as an escape character and so, the url as interpreted by system is wrong.
The correct systax would be.

C#

System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer();
player.SoundLocation = "C:\\Users\\Desktop\\test.wav";
player.Play();

Have a look at "\\" instead of "\"
Hope it will help you.

Regards

"player.SoundLocation = @"C:\Users\Desktop\test.wav";", is perfectly fine and is not the problem. The @ unescapes the \.
