ok i knwo your suppoed to write code example but i dont knwo where i need to start. Ive posted on here before for Homework and stuff but this is for personal use here.......

im making a match game for a little kid in my family where u flipover cards and try to match them and well you know how that game works......

but depending on whether they get a match or not i want the program to play a certain souund file if they get a match and a certian sound file if they do not get a match.

I needed to know how to activate a souind file when a CLICK EVENT happens.

Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.

You need to add a windows media player component to your form. Set its Visible property to false, so it won't show up. Then inside the click event of your button/object play the file that has the sound you want to play.

Here is a little tutorial to get you started.

assuming you are using Visual Basic 2005 you could use
My.Computer.Audio.Play("file to play here", playmodehere)

"file to play here" is the link to the sound file (i recommend you import it as a resource and use that)

you don't have to use a play mode, but your choices are
- Background = this plays the sound in the background while you are doing other stuff
- BackgroundLoop = this plays the sound over and over and over in the background while you are doing other stuff
- WaitToComplete = plays the sound, but pauses the application so that you can't do anything until the sound is done playing (the one you will most likely want in your case)
