Answer 1

You can import the file in the project’s resources and load it from there using

Properties.Resources.<name_of_resource>

In order to import something to the resources do the following (assuming you use Visual Studio 2010 – it is similar to other versions I think):

In Visual Studio 2010 solution explorer, right click Properties -> Open -> Resources -> Add Resource -> Add Existing File

Note that when you will install your application later on other computers the resources will be installed as well.

In order to play the sound you need to do the following then:

SoundPlayer myPlayer = new SoundPlayer(yourNamespace.Properties.Resources.mySound);
myPlayer.Play();
