Adding Video to ASP.NET WebSite

Hello Friends!

Now here is something regarding the designing of the website. I am working on a project in ASP.NET. It includes a lot of things in addition to designing. Adding a Animated Image or a Video gives a good look to your page. So, I decided to add a Video to my Website.

And Here the Problem Starts! How to add it?

Here is the code to add the video to your ASP.NET website. Copy the code to the place where you want to add the Video (May in Master Page or Web Form). Replace this -" SomeMediaFile.mpg" (without quotes) with your video filename. Any video extension can be used. But Before that, You need to create the folder in your solution and place the Video file in it. The Parameters can be changed as per requirement.

The Code -

<OBJECT ID="Player"

CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"

VIEWASTEXT>

<PARAM name="autoStart" value="True">

<PARAM name="URL" value="SomeMediaFile.mpg">

<PARAM name="rate" value="1">

<PARAM name="balance" value="0">

<PARAM name="enabled" value="true">

<PARAM name="enabledContextMenu" value="true">

<PARAM name="fullScreen" value="false">

<PARAM name="playCount" value="1">

<PARAM name="volume" value="100">

</OBJECT>

Creating a Video File using the Images, Pictures and Wallpapers -

You can create a video file using the images. It's Simple. Open the Windows Movie Maker (available in Windows XP). Import the required Images. Add Effects and Create the movie file. And it's Done..!

I know there are a lot of other options available to add videos to website such as using Flash. But I think This is the simplest way. Many people don't know how to use flash. And it's very easy to create videos using Windows Movie Maker. Videos can be added using Silverlight also. But it works in Visual Studio 2008 only not in VS 2005.

So, Give it a Try......

There will be few more posts in designing category so stay Tuned :)

Facebook has launched an Indian interface that will help members in the region connect with peers in six different languages.

Now you can use Facebook in any of the Indian languages to connect with your Indian friends all over the world.

Members can now opt for any of the six languages through option tabs on the homepage. As of now Facebook does not allow transliteration or copying of English script into any another in online chats or messages. With the new feature, the fast-growing site with an active user base of over 200 million, expects to capture a burgeoning and tech-savvy Indian market. In addition to the six languages, more than 40 translations are available on the site. Most of India’s young population are active users of social networking sites like Orkut and Facebook and often promote social causes through them.

Sitemeter Logo

Sitemeter , one of the best counter i ever seen for website owners, it shows online users, Referrals (From where people coming to your site), country locations, browser etc etc.. all in detail.

I am using it in almost all my sites and blogs, but i hacked the Sitemeter to hide it. This feature (Hidden counter) is available in PRO version only, but you can easily hack it to hide it. Remember i am not going to teach you anything special or any coding changes which may break there terms of use.

Its just few setting changes which will work fine.

1. Offcourse Login to your sitemeter account and go to manager.

2. Now next , Go to Meter style option from left hand menu.

3. Select 2nd last meter style (Counter, which shows simple numbers).

4. Now in “DIGIT COLOR” select transparent similarly in “BACKGROUND COLOR” select transparent.


5. DONE. now your sitemeter counter is invisible from normal eyes in your site

Place it anywhere in your blog, and track your traffic, users.

NOTE : Doing this hack will NOT make you voiding the TOS of Sitemeter, so do it unless they fix it.
