Allow your visitors to play YouTube videos on your site, bringing them closer to you in a way that's uncommon on most websites.
Live Lessons Example - ASP.NET VB - play YouTube videos on your page
[Part 1]:
Create a New webpage named "Youtube.aspx".
Create a Form with a text field and a Submit button.
Set the form's method to [POST] and the action to the same page we are on.
[Youtube.aspx]
CFFCS | CarrzSynEdit: | ASP.NET (VB/C#)

<form runat="server">
<label for="">YouTube ID</label>
<asp:TextBox ID="YouTube" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Label ID="IDLabel" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
<asp:Button id="YTBut" runat="server" Text="Play YouTube Video" />
</form>

[Part 2]:
Using an [IF STATEMENT] lets us keep the content on the same page and display it only when the visitor provides a YouTube video ID.
Example: C-FGs18RCwk
And the Submit Button has been fired, with the Value of [Play YouTube Video]
Update: I failed at providing the correct information in this script. I provided Classic ASP, instead of VB.NET.
[If Statement]
CFFCS | CarrzSynEdit: | ASP.NET (VB/C#)

<%' Create our variable
dim getSub as string = request.form("Submit")
dim UTube as string = ""
' Next, we call our variable and query it against the value of the input
if getSub = "Play YouTube Video" then
UTube = trim(request.form("YouTube"))
UTube = replace(UTube, "'","'")
%>

[Part 3]:
The YouTube Object Properties.
The Video will display here.
You can change the width and height to the following values.
  1. width="560" height="315"
  2. width="640" height="360"
  3. width="853" height="480"
  4. width="1280" height="720"
Going higher than this can make some visitors' pages too large for their monitors.
[YouTube Object]
