How to: Loop a Sound Playing on a Windows Form

The following code example plays a sound repeatedly. When the code in the stopPlayingButton_Click event handler runs, any sound currently playing stops. If no sound is playing, nothing happens.

Example

Imports System
Imports System.Media
Imports System.Windows.Forms

Public Class Form1
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

    Private Player As New SoundPlayer

    Sub New()

        Me.InitializeComponent()

    End Sub

    Private Sub playLoopingButton_Click( _
        ByVal sender As System.Object, _
        ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
        Handles playLoopingButton.Click

        Try
            ' Note: You may need to change the location specified based on
            ' the sounds loaded on your computer.
            Me.Player.SoundLocation = "C:\Windows\Media\chimes.wav"
            Me.Player.PlayLooping()
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error playing sound")
        End Try

    End Sub

    Private Sub stopPlayingButton_Click( _
        ByVal sender As System.Object, _
        ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
        Handles stopPlayingButton.Click

        Me.Player.Stop()

    End Sub

    'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.

        If disposing AndAlso components IsNot Nothing Then

Compiling the Code

This example requires:

  • References to the System and System.Windows.Forms assemblies.

  • That you replace the file name "c:\Windows\Media\chimes.wav" with a valid file name.

For information about building this example from the command line for Visual Basic or Visual C#, see Building from the Command Line (Visual Basic) or Command-line Building With csc.exe. You can also build this example in Visual Studio by pasting the code into a new project. For more information, see How to: Compile and Run a Complete Windows Forms Code Example Using Visual Studio and How to: Compile and Run a Complete Windows Forms Code Example Using Visual Studio and How to: Compile and Run a Complete Windows Forms Code Example Using Visual Studio and How to: Compile and Run a Complete Windows Forms Code Example Using Visual Studio.

Robust Programming

File operations should be enclosed within appropriate exception-handling blocks.

The following conditions may cause an exception:

Security

Do not make decisions about the contents of the file based on the name of the file. For example, the file Form1.vb may not be a Visual Basic source file. Verify all inputs before using the data in your application.
