How To- Play YouTube Video in Your Website from URL only in ASP.Net

In this post, I am explaining how you can play the You Tube videos in your website using video
 URLs in ASP.Net without downloading the video.

In my previous posts, I explained How To- Search records or data in gridview using jQuery

In this post I am taking a You Tube video URL for example. So Lets start the example.

ASPX Page
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" 
CodeBehind="PlayYouTubeVideo.aspx.cs" 
Inherits="YouTubeVideo.PlayYouTubeVideo" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 
Transitional//EN" 
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div id="divVideo" runat="server">
    
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

In the above markup, I have just take a Div control and give it an id and make it server
 control by addingrunat="server"
Now In code behind write the following function and call it on your desire location.
I have called it onPage_Load event.
C# Code
/// <summary>
/// Function to set the video frame on Div control for play
/// </summary>
protected void SetVideoForPlay()
{
   //YouTube Video URL
   string youtubeUrl = "http://www.youtube.com/
         watch?feature=endscreen&v=gfedwjAOMZI&NR=1"; 
 string vCode = youtubeUrl.Substring(youtubeUrl.LastIndexOf("v=") + 2);
  if (vCode.Contains("&"))
   vCode = vCode.Substring(0, vCode.LastIndexOf("&"));
   string sHtml = @"<object width='{0}' height='{1}' 
 data='http://www.youtube.com/v/{2}&autoplay=0' 
 codetype='application/x-shockwave-flash'>
  &ltparam name='movie' 
 value='http://www.youtube.com/v/{2}&autoplay=0'></param>
</object>";
 //define frame size
 string sWidth = "500px";
 string sHeight = "500px";
 //insert code to the Div
 divVideo.InnerHtml = String.Format(sHtml, sWidth, sHeight,vCode);
}
Output
Play YouTube Video in Your Website from URL only in ASP.Net

How to hide url parameters in asp.net

There are different ways to Hide the URL in asp.net , you can choose any one from bellow options . Previously I was Explained about the  Difference between Convert.tostring and .tostring() method Example  ,   Reasons to use Twitter Bootstrap , How to Register AJAX toolkit in web.config file in asp.net a) Using Post Method b) Using Of Session . c) URL Encoding & decoding process . d) Using Server.Transfer() instead of Response.Redirect() method (1)Use a form and POST the information. This might require additional code in source pages, but should not require logic changes in the target pages (merely change Request.QueryString to Request.Form). While POST is not impossible to muck with, it's certainly less appealing than playing with QueryString parameters. (2)Use session variables to carry information from page to page. This is likely a more substantial effort compared to (1), because you will need to take session variable checking into account...
