A simple playsound or beep function

I can't believe it, but there is no playsound function in .NET! To my knowledge the only way to play sound is to use p/invoke or DirectSound. Our setup already has to include the .NET installer (23MB+) I don't want to add DirectX 9 on top of that. My actual program files are less than 1MB!

sorry to say you're out of luck...for now.

i believe this has been requested for a future version though.

We've heard that request from a lot of customers and are looking into it for future versions. As for now, you can use p/invoke for playsound.
