I sucks at thread, so please help me [Answered]

Hello guys

How can I execute a method without blocking the UI?
It's because when I click on keyboard key it supposed to play a sound using Window_KeyDown event but when I type to fast sounds doesnt play.
So how can I put the code that permit to play the sound into a thread things so it does not block the ui?
thanks

        private void Window_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            // Bruit de clavier mécanique
            Stream str;


            str = new StreamReader(
            System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("TypeSpone.resources.key1_enter_release.wav")!
                ).BaseStream;

            System.Media.SoundPlayer snd = new System.Media.SoundPlayer(str);
            snd.Play();
        }

Maybe there is a way to play without a new thread?

I know NAudio has an asynchronous API

Also, why are you creating a StreamReader just to get the base stream that you passed to it?

You can just use the return value of GetManifestResourceStream directly

StreamReader is meant for text

oh thanks, it works too

I'm gonna read about it thanks

I think I'm gonna need some help ^^'

I don't think NAudio is a good idea

I don't want to install a new package in my project. Is it possible to stay with the thread method?

Why don't you want a new package?

That is a very common thing to do

Actually I don't know how to use NAudio and it seems complicated

Well it's def. not complicated

Just read their documentation

Or StackOverflow posts

okay then

and last thing, is there any more faster way to get the stream of my audio from the resources?

than this :

                str = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("TypeSpone.resources.key1_enter_release.wav")!;

Is it slow?

Idk it feels slow, or maybe the SoundPlayer class is slow

let me try with NAudio then I tell you

Well it opens a stream that should give you bytes gradually

I don't think that'd be slow

do you suggest me mp3 or wav?

but NAudio works perfectly thanks 😄

I don't even need to use the Asynchronous thing

mp3 is lossy compressed, wav isn't.
So choosing between them depends on your requirements

NAudio supports both

Most people can't hear the difference anyway between a high quality MP3 and WAV

okay thanks a lot 🙂
