Should all the sound code used in CF 1.1 still work in CF 2.0? Any changes?
Or is there a better way to produce sound on the device?

TIA
Harry
 
Same code works. "Better" is subjective - depends opn what you need to do.
PlaySOund is simple, but not robust. It works for a lot of situations.

Thanks Chris - I'm using embedded wav files then doing the
Dim snd As New
Sound([Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream("EasyIDMOBILE.ding.wav"))

snd.Play()

But it's coming back as a Null Reference error from within the Sound class.
Kinda hard to debug.....just wondered if anything changed. Basically all I
want to do is play a short sound say if a patient is found. Same code works
in VS2003 environment so i'm a bit miffed.

Probably something stupid I'm doing.

Most likely the resource name is incorrect. It's case sensitive and needs
the fully qualified namespace. Go through GetManifestResourceNames and see
if you can find it to verify you have the name right.
