Need a BEEP() in vb.net CF

[jeisner]

Hi a need a simple beep sound in a VB.NET CF application, I tried VisualBasic.Interaction.Beep() which gives no errors but also gives no sound in a compact framework app.... Is there something else that works?

You can try this method (from the .NET CF FAQ (http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/prodtechinfo/devtools/netcf/faq/default.aspx)):

http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/CompactFramework/doc/playsounds.aspx

It shows how to call WCE_PlaySound directly. \Windows\Default.wav is probably a reliable file to play for a generic beep on most devices.
