In this article I am going to explain how to play YouTube video using video url in asp.net web application

Description:

In the previous articles I have explained How to fill Country, State and Citydropdown list using linq to sql and how to set the video autoplay and disablethe related video option.

I want to play the youtube video in asp.net application. To play the video the simply enter the particular youtube video url.

Implementation:

Add a webform to asp.net application. Add the below given HTML markup to webform.

HTML Markup:

<table>

   <tr>

   <td>Enter Youtube Video URL :</td>

   <td> <asp:TextBox ID="txturl" runat="server" Width="450px"></asp:TextBox></td>

   <td> <asp:Button ID="btnsubmit"

            runat="server" Text="Play"/></td>

   </tr>

   <tr>

   <td colspan="3" id="video" runat="server"></td>

   </tr>

   </table>

On button click write the below given code

C# code:

protected void btnsubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        string VideoUrl = txturl.Text;

        string vCode = VideoUrl.Substring(VideoUrl.LastIndexOf("v=") + 2);

        if (vCode.Contains("&"))

            vCode = vCode.Substring(0, vCode.LastIndexOf("&"));

        string frame = @"<object width='{0}' height='{1}' data='http://www.youtube.com/v/{2}&autoplay=1' codetype='application/x-shockwave-flash'>

  &ltparam name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/{2}&autoplay=1' ></param></object>";       

        string fWidth = "600px";

        string fHeight = "500px";

        video.InnerHtml = String.Format(frame, fWidth, fHeight, vCode);

    }

VB code:

Protected Sub btnsubmit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnsubmit.Click

        Dim VideoUrl As String = txturl.Text

        Dim vCode As String = VideoUrl.Substring(VideoUrl.LastIndexOf("v=") + 2)

        If vCode.Contains("&") Then

            vCode = vCode.Substring(0, vCode.LastIndexOf("&"))

        End If

        Dim frame As String = "<object width='{0}' height='{1}' data='http://www.youtube.com/v/{2}&autoplay=1' codetype='application/x-shockwave-flash'>" & vbCr & vbLf & "  &ltparam name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/{2}&autoplay=1' ></param></object>"

        Dim fWidth As String = "600px"

        Dim fHeight As String = "500px"

        video.InnerHtml = [String].Format(frame, fWidth, fHeight, vCode)

    End Sub

Build the application and run it. To test the code enter the any youtube video URL.
