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

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)

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

 Help with Code Tags 
 asp Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
if (flUpload.PostedFile.ContentLength > 0)
{
    String strPath = Server.MapPath("../") + "UploadedFiles/Folder";
    flUpload.PostedFile.SaveAs(strPath + "/" +  this.flUploadBrief.FileName.ToString());
}
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" />

This is the Object tag.

(Toggle Plain Text)

<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.
