By using microsoft .net web helper, we can simplify our code to build our web site such as visualize our data in a chart diagram or grid, embed image and video file, and etc. In this post, I'll show how to embed video file to our web site using microsoft .net web helper. There are some video format that able to embed into our web page using .net web helper : Adobe Flash file (.swf), Microsoft Media Player (.wmv), and Silverlight (.xap). If you haven't install microsoft .net web helper library into your web project yet, you can follow my instruction on my last blog post - http://students.netindonesia.net/blogs/izzuddin/archive/2011/05/06/installing-common-helpers-using-asp-net-web-page-administration-tools.aspx choose and install ASP.NET Web Helpers Library 1.1.
I assume that your video files is located in new directory named "Media" on your web project.
Embed Flash Video (.swf)
Create a cshtml page first an add this code bellow on body section.
@Video.Flash(path: "Media/sample.swf",

height: "600",
play: true,
loop: true,
menu: false,
bgColor: "red",
quality: "medium",
scale: "exactfit",
windowMode: "transparent")
We can set the video porperties like the size, quality, and etc from code above.
