i am still facing some problems. let us ignore tht. all i want to know is that what is the easiest method to play a .wav file in the current directory in an embedded device application i.e. by using .net compact framework , as it does not support System.Media.Soundplayer Class.

I can guess that "start" variable is a byte array, and you are trying to assign a byte array to Stream object. You need to initialize a stream from that byte array buffer.

Replace the first line in the event handler with this:

MemoryStream mystream = new MemoryStream( Properties.Resources.start );

First ask from http://www.opennetcf.org/forums/, if you have problems with the OpenNETCF.

But if you use OpenNETCF, you can simpy use this code to play a sound file in your current application folder:

SoundPlayer sound = new SoundPlayer("mySoundfile.wav");
sound.Play();

So simple is that.
