"Recording a sound" Help

Hello
Does anyone knows how can record a sound from an available microphone?
Thanks

 

To help others with similar problem, I'm posting a solution though its late by 9 months :p

I would have achieved sound recording in C# by using mciSendStringA in winmm.dll.

First import the dll :

Code:

[DllImport("winmm.dll", EntryPoint = "mciSendStringA", CharSet = CharSet.Auto]
private static extern int mciSendString(string lpstrCommand, string lpstrReturnString, int uReturnLength, int hwndCallback);

Now, create a new device (named MyRecorder) :

Code:

mciSendString("open new type waveaudio alias MyRecorder", "" , 0, 0);

To start sound recording :

Code:

mciSendString("record MyRecorder", "" , 0, 0);

To save the recorded sound (to C:\MySound.wav):

Code:

mciSendString("save MyRecorder C:\\MySound.wav", "" , 0, 0);

To stop recording sound :

Code:

mciSendString("close MyRecorder", "" , 0, 0);

That's it !
