Question

I’m new to Windows Phone development and I’m trying to do a simple training app.

I want my app to load some audio files that I’ve put into a folder inside the project.

Here’s a short snippet:

private void LoadSound(String SoundFilePath, out SoundEffect Sound)
    {

        // For error checking, assume we'll fail to load the file.
        Sound = null;
        try
        {                
            // Holds informations about a file stream.                
            StreamResourceInfo SoundFileInfo = Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri(SoundFilePath, UriKind.Relative));

My folder structure is something like

- Project
    - Kits
        - TestKit_128
            - Bass_126.wav

and calling

Button.setSound("Kits\\TestKit_128\\bass_126.wav");

throws a System.NullReferenceException because the path is not found when the URI is created. (At least I think so!)

What should I do?

Is there any way to load files from a folder in the project or to copy them into the IsolatedStorage when I run the app for the first time?

Thanks

EDIT:

I’ve just opened the XAP file with WinRar and there’s no “Kits” folder so I guess that my problem is how to make it add the folder to the XAP file.

I think you have to add the folder and the file to your project (i assume you are using Visual Studio). Try rightclick on your solution and add an existing object (in this case your wav file).
