User · Answer

For Windows Forms one way is to use the SoundPlayer

private void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    using (var soundPlayer = new SoundPlayer(@"c:\Windows\Media\chimes.wav")) {
        soundPlayer.Play(); // can also use soundPlayer.PlaySync()
    }
}

This will also work with WPF, but you have other options like using MediaPlayer MSDN page

I think you must firstly add a  wav file to Resources  For example you have sound file named Sound wav  After you added the Sound wav file to Resources  you can use this code   System Media SoundPlayer player   new System Media SoundPlayer Properties Resources Sound   player Play      This is another way to play sound
