Retrive name and video location from database
Prefix video file location string with rest of the path
Pass this new generated string path to media player

Re: Retrieve videos from databse

Here is nice tutorial how to do it in ASP.NET with C# or this one in regards of Silverlight
However with Silverlight you getting in trouble as not everyone has it, I'm one of them as I believe that is useless, just attempt to bit Adobe and the Flash (but that is just me)

Re: Retrieve videos from databse

Firstly upload the video file to a folder in the server by :

if (flUpload.PostedFile.ContentLength > 0)

{

    String strPath = Server.MapPath("../") + "UploadedFiles/Folder";

    flUpload.PostedFile.SaveAs(strPath + "/" +  this.flUploadBrief.FileName.ToString());

}

where

<asp:FileUpload runat="server" ID="flUploadBrief" />

is the FileUpload Control.

And save the name of the File in database.

Then u can view the video by :

<embed src="video.avi" />

Re: Retrieve videos from databse

This is the Object tag.

<OBJECT id=mPlayer height=250 width=320 classid=CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95 VIEWASTEXT>

<PARAM NAME="filename" VALUE="moviepreview/<%Response.Write(Request.QueryString.Get("id"));%>">

You have to fill the value from server side code.
