Problem with the c# System.Media.SoundPlayer class on a web host

I wanted to add sound to my web application so I decided to use the System.Media.SoundPlayer class. something like this: CODE System.Media.SoundPlayer myPlayer = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(); myPlayer.SoundLocation = @"sound.wav"; myPlayer.Play(); Everything works fine when I run the solution on my local computer, but when I upload my site on the web host the sound doesn't play at all. There is not even a error message. I do not want to use javascrip to make the sound because I need the sound to be related to functions made in the c# code. If anyone know how I can make this work, help would be very appreciated. Thank you

This won't work on a client system since they don't have the file.... This page on MSDN says you can specify a URL for the SoundLocation property. Give it a try!

Also, when I run the application on my console and use the link to the sound file on the web host, it works fine. It seems like the sound file plays where ever the c# code is, or something.

I found an article on codeproject.com about how to implement a Flash mp3 player. http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/MP3PlayerControl.asp This control seems to be flexible. Take a look at it's properties: Src: URL location of the MP3 file. Stream: Boolean value to indicate whether MP3 file should be streamed. (Otherwise file is preloaded) AutoStart: Boolean value to indicate whether file should start when page loads. (Guaranteed to annoy or your money back) Loop: Boolean value to indicate whether file should play itself again when it ends. Console: Boolean value to indicate whether to display the UI. If you do find a pure .NET solution please post back here. I'd be really interested to see your solution!

I'm having the exact same problem. It seems that the sound file plays on the server side rather than on the client side. Sorry, I'm new to .NET development. I think I'm missing something. here... CODE SoundPlayer MyPlayer = new SoundPlayer(); MyPlayer.SoundLocation = "http://test/123.wav; MyPlayer.Play(); When the page with the above code load on the Mobile browser, the .wav plays on the server instead of on the Mobile device. I need the .wav file to play on the Mobile device. Do I need some streaming or anything??? Any suggestions? Btw I'm using Mobile Web Form. Thanks.
