Answer 1

For Windows Forms one way is to use the SoundPlayer

private void Button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    SoundPlayer simpleSound = new SoundPlayer(@"c:\Windows\Media\chimes.wav");
    simpleSound.Play();
}

MSDN page

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

Answer 2

You could use:

System.Media.SoundPlayer player = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(@"c:\mywavfile.wav");
player.Play();

Answer 3

You can use SystemSound

e.g. SystemSounds.Asterisk.Play();
