Hey all,

I'm new to c# and am wanting to write an application that is very basic (for now). I want to be able to set an alarm for my computer so that it wakes me up in the morning. And I want this alarm application to not play a silly old beep-beep tone, but to plauan actual MP3 file, or WMA file or OGG Vorbis file at the specified alarm-time. E.g:

At 10PM I set my alarm for 7AM the following morning. And that morning when the alarm goes off at 7AM my song will play.

Any help/samples would be greatly appreciated!

Lots of thanks in advance.

Jay.

I'm sorry, but we can't just write you a program. Try it on your own, and if you get trouble with anything, i'm sure we can help you with it. Also, there is a tutorial on making an mp3 player you might want to check out. It is in VB.NET, but you should be able to figure out the basic method it is using.

To play an MP3 file you will need to use the Windows Media Player component, you will need to add it to your toolbox. Just set the visibility to false, unless you want it displayed on your alarm clock.

Use a DateTime object to get the current system time on your computer and then tell WMP to play the file when it is time to sound the alarm. Of course, there is a little more to it than that but, this should get you started.
Using the Windows Media Player Control with Microsoft Visual Studio
Datetime structure

If you have any question or get stuck, post your code and we will be happy to help.
