Remarks

Loads a sound file stored in memory. The sound file can be a stream file (see the LoadSound method for accepted stream formats) or a MOD music file.

If the sound is in RAW format use the LoadSoundFromRawMemory method.

A successful call to this method will fire the SoundLoaded event.

Syntax

Return value

Sample

Below you can find a couple of samples that demonstrate how to load a sound stored in memory in Visual Basic.NET and Visual C# : in these samples the file is taken from a file and its contents are stored in memory.

Visual Basic.NET

' declare the memory buffer (cannot be a local variable)

Dim m_byteBuffer() As Byte

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

 Dim openFileDialog1 As New OpenFileDialog

 If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() <> DialogResult.OK Then

     Return

 End If

 ' put the song file into a stream

 Dim streamFile As FileStream

 streamFile = New FileStream(openFileDialog1.FileName, FileMode.Open)

 Dim binReader As BinaryReader

 binReader = New BinaryReader(streamFile)

 ' reallocate the memory buffer space and store the song

 ReDim m_byteBuffer(streamFile.Length)

 binReader.Read(m_byteBuffer, 0, streamFile.Length)

 If AudioDjStudio1.LoadSoundFromMemory(0, m_byteBuffer, streamFile.Length) = AudioDjStudio.enumErrorCodes.NOERROR Then

     ' do domething

     ....

 End If

End Sub

Visual C#.NET

// declare the memory buffer (cannot be a local variable)

byte[] m_byteBuffer = null;

private void buttonLoad1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

 OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog();

 if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() != DialogResult.OK)

     return;

 // put the song file into a stream

 FileStream      streamFile = new FileStream (openFileDialog1.FileName, FileMode.Open);

 BinaryReader    binReader = new BinaryReader (streamFile);

 //  allocate the memory buffer space and store the song

 m_byteBuffer = new byte[streamFile.Length];

 binReader.Read (m_byteBuffer, 0, (int) streamFile.Length);

 // load song from memory buffer

 if (audioDjStudio1.LoadSoundFromMemory (0, m_byteBuffer, (Int32) streamFile.Length) == enumErrorCodes.NOERROR)

 {

     // do something

     ...

 }

}
