How to: Play a Sound Embedded in a Resource from a Windows Form

You can use the SoundPlayer class to play a sound from an embedded resource.

Example
Visual Basic 
Private Sub playSoundFromResource(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Dim a As System.Reflection.Assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
    Dim s As System.IO.Stream = a.GetManifestResourceStream("<AssemblyName>.chimes.wav")
    Dim player As SoundPlayer = New SoundPlayer(s)
    player.Play()
End Sub
C# 
private void playSoundFromResource(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    System.Reflection.Assembly a = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
    System.IO.Stream s = a.GetManifestResourceStream("<AssemblyName>.chimes.wav");
    SoundPlayer player = new SoundPlayer(s);
    player.Play();
}
Compiling the Code

This example requires:

Importing the System.Media namespace.

Including the sound file as an embedded resource in your project.

Replacing "<AssemblyName>" with the name of the assembly in which the sound file is embedded. Do not include the ".dll" suffix.

Another way...
Use:

System.IO.Stream s = <AssemblyName>.Properties.Resources.<EmbeddedAudioFile>;
SoundPlayer player = new SoundPlayer(s);
player.Play();

That's another way I found.

(Note: Replace <AssemblyName> with your Applications Assembly name and <EmbeddedAudioFile> with the embedded audio file name omitting the .wav part, and this example is in C#.)
