Look here for displaying video:
ASP.NET Embedded Video Player (YouTube™ API, C#)
video streaming with ASP.NET 2.0, IIS and HTTP handler
display video in .net ( C# with Asp.net )
Display videos in ASP.NET 2.0

Try!

Download flash web control from http://www.aspnetflash.com/ .

Just add that in to your tool box by right clicking on tool box items and clicking on choose items. If u have already added the tool then select it else browse for dll file and add that...

Now ur tool box contain flash video control that can play flv or swf files.. jus asign

Flash1.MovieURL = "Path of video file from u tube";//Here flash1 is id of flash control

This will work, if not please let me know...

I have taken a data list which displays name of video, description and link button from database..If i click on see video link that will play video in flash control

If u are using only videos from youtube but not playing any videos from ur server or anywhere else u can use following code

protected void lnkSeeVideo_Command(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
//lnkSeeVideo_Command is event of item template(link button) that is in data list--

{
try
{
string str = Convert.ToString(e.CommandArgument);//str is video id string of a video that is in youtube --- which is fetched from database

lblVideo.Text = string.Format("<div id=\"video{0}\"><object width=\"491\" height=\"343\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/{0}&rel=1\"></param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"></param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/{0}&rel=1\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"491\" height=\"343\"></embed></object></div>", str);

///We are embedding youtube flash video at runtime in a label, this worked fine for us.
}
catch (Exception ex)
{

}
}

this was the solution i got from one site...www.aspnetflash.com in this web site flash should not used for comercial purpose..i want which will be the good player will set in asp.net

I think the youtube link you provided will work on runtime from the internet or you have to save your videos in your database.here is a player for every brower support Flash Video Player[^] or why dont you directly embed your videos to play in there..!its easy you can use flash banner tool
