Question

So I have a script that, when run, plays an audio file which I currently have in the same folder. I would like to consolidate the two of these into a single .exe, but I’m not sure if this is possible or not. Does anyone know specifics on this?

The quick and easy way is to:

1. Open Visual Studios.
2. Start a new C# project.
3. Add a new Resources File to the project (open it in the designer if it does not automatically).
4. Click the “Add Resource” button at the top of the window and select your sound file.
5. Write code to play the file (I assume the script can be ported to this, let us know if you need help on this). To access the file use Namespace.ResourceFile.FileName where Namespace is the namesapce of the project, ResourceFile is the name of the resource file you added (default is “Resource1.resx”), and FileName is the name of the file you added.

It will make things easier if after you add the sound file you check the top left button on the window. It will either be “Files” or “Audio” though the window often opens to “Strings”. Make a note of what this currently says so you can switch back to this view later.
