How to play mp3, ogg, wav, mod and other sound files in Windows.Forms and C#

All the tutorials at the irrKlang page are using a console as example application type, because I thought it would be more simple to understand, but a lot of people asked me how to use irrKlang together with Windows.Forms. So here is a small example code, showing how to play back any sound file (mp3, ogg, wav, whatever) using irrKlang, in a small Windows.Forms application:

You only need to download irrKlang and add the irrKlang.NET.DLL file as reference to your project.

// Minimal Windows.Forms program in CSharp// to play back an .ogg, mp3, .mod, .wav etc file:using System;using System.Windows.Forms;namespace PlayerApplication{    public class PlayerWindow : Form    {        irrKlang.ISoundEngine soundEngine = new irrKlang.ISoundEngine();        irrKlang.ISound currentlyPlayingSound;        [STAThread]        static void Main()        {            Application.Run(new PlayerWindow());        }        public PlayerWindow()        {            // setup window            Button playButton = new Button();            Button stopButton = new Button();            playButton.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(48, 78);            playButton.Text = "Play";            playButton.Click += new System.EventHandler(PlayButton_Click);            stopButton.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(173, 78);            stopButton.Text = "Stop";            stopButton.Click += new System.EventHandler(StopButton_Click);            Controls.Add(stopButton);            Controls.Add(playButton);        }        private void PlayButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)        {            // replace the filename with the file you want to play.            // copy the ikpmp3.dll to your bin\Debug (or working) path if you want            // to play back mp3 files            currentlyPlayingSound =                soundEngine.Play2D(@"C:\music\someFile.ogg");        }        private void StopButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)        {            if (currentlyPlayingSound != null)            {                currentlyPlayingSound.Stop();                currentlyPlayingSound = null;            }        }    }}

I really don't understand what the big deal is, it should not be that difficult. :)
