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
