Title: Play system sounds: beep, asterisk, question, etc. in C#

This example shows how to do something simple yet very useful: playing the default system sounds.

Sometimes you may want to make your program beep or make some other sound. It would be nice to just call a Beep method. Visual Basic has one but C# does not.

You could use Console.Beep() but that produces a loud, jarring sound that doesn't fit in well with modern Windows programming.

The solution is to use the System.Media.SystemSounds classes.

• System.Media.SystemSounds.Asterisk.Play()
• System.Media.SystemSounds.Beep.Play()
• System.Media.SystemSounds.Exclamation.Play()
• System.Media.SystemSounds.Hand.Play()
• System.Media.SystemSounds.Question.Play()
