Play Sounds in WPF with PlaySoundAction Behavior

If you use Expression Blend you have the option to use Behaviors to help with your coding. One such behavior is the PlaySoundAction behavior. This one lets you play a sound with just XAML code.

Here is an example:

<Button Content="Button" Height="28" Canvas.Left="145" Canvas.Top="369" Width="48">
    <i:Interaction.Triggers>
    	<i:EventTrigger EventName="Click">
    		<ei:PlaySoundAction Source="beep-3.wav"/>
    	</i:EventTrigger>
    </i:Interaction.Triggers>
</Button>

In this example when the button is pressed a noise will play. Keep in mind the sound file needs to have a “Build Action” of “Content”, and a “Copy to Output Directory” of “Copy if newer” or “Copy always”
