Hi All!

A simple question; what is the C# equivalent for Beep() in VB?
And how can I use the system sound from C#?

Thanks in advance!

Greets,

You can use the System.Runtime.InteropServices with Platform Invoke to
call the Win32 Beep API function. Use the following DllImport attribute:

[DllImport("kernel32.dll", EntryPoint="Beep")]
public static extern bool Beep(int frequency, int duration);

Regards,

Joe
 
Thanx Joe!

Leif,

It should be noted that instead of using interop, you can use the static
Beep method on the Interaction class in the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace,
which is located in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll. This does the declaration
for you, and acts in exactly the same manner as it would in VB (and is
distributed as part of the framework).

Hope this helps.

This has been addressed several times here.

I have compiled the common answers in my snippets page found at
