replace the string "C:\Temp\yourname.pdf" with the path and filename for the pdf file you want to open.
This will cause the pdf to open in your systems default pdf application.

How to play a sound in C#, .NET

I would like to know if it possible just play some kind of audio file in C# Console Application.
I don't find any answer on this question.
Many Thanks
In command prompt you can play an audio file by typing it's name from location folder:
c:\my_Music>track1.mp3
This opens the file with the format's associated progam so there will be a pop-up of an external program. Set program by using right-click on a file and choose "Open With".
I've not tested this in a console app. But you should be able to type a String into the console app and then trigger an ENTER press event.
Option 2:
Use SoundPlayer class.
A good tutorial for beginners. Also can check this: Playing sounds on Console.

I have a string of the file path and I want to open the file. Not in the way that it shows bytes in the console for example, but to open the original file with the program that suits him.
For example if my path shows a .docs file I want it to be opened with Word.
Any suggestions?
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CMD.exe",filePath);

I have a little bit confusing problem. I'm not a beginner but I don't know how to do it..
For example I've written a program like notepad from which you can open files, save and etc. But when I set any custom format like ".blabla" to be opened by my app it is not working, so how can I make it to be opened by my app?
It is in WinForms
You need an entry in the registry for custom file extensions. You can try inserting a key in the registry as follows:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\
