How do I play an audio file?

[TryingToC#]

(Please note that I extended the question in post #5!)

Hello,

I am new to the board and new to C#. I installed MS Visual C# '08 EE and got started with some ideas I had. Everything went way better than I expected and I already managed to realise some things that I thought would take me ages.

I have an idea for a rather simple programme. I wrote all the basic stuff already but one of the crucial parts of the programme is that it has to play sounds.

That is, I'll have a folder with several sounds files (mp3's) that should be played when I press a corresponding button.

As I said, I am using Visual C# and have created a Form already. That Form has several buttons which I now want to link to some kind of "play sound file X" function. And, to be honest, I have no idea how to do that.

I used google to find an answer but couldn't find anything that made sense to me. Could someone point me in the right direction and give a newbie-friendly explanation?

All help is gratefully received!

Thank you very much in advance and have a nice day!
