Dynamically Embed the Windows Media® Player, Flash, or Real™ Player |
For ASP.NET |
The Problem:
Adding media to your web application is typically done in advance. The developer decides the media type and embeds a Windows Media® Player (WMP), Flash™ player, or RealPlayer®. With this player is typically a hard-coded media file name. But what happens if the developer embeds WMP 9 but the user only has WMP 6.4? If the user refuses to (or cannot due to corporate policy) download the new version, the page won't display. What if the user wants to turn off the sound/video? What if the content is loaded from a database with a mix of Flash files, Windows media, and Real® Audio?
The Solution:
The Web Player is the answer. The developer can specify the exact player and version to be used or she can tell the Web Player to automatically adjust to the extension assigned to the MediaUrl property. So the exact same ASP.NET page can be WMP, Flash, RealPlayer, or even just text based on a single property. Store your media file names in a database with no problem. Allow the user to choose the media type or turn off media completely (and in that case show "close captions" instead). Control your media with server-side properties or code (VB, C#, etc.) rather than editing HTML tags and writing JavaScript.
The Uses:
Any ASP.NET application that uses media will greatly benefit from the Web Player. It is a cornerstone of the VBTrain.Net architecture. And its many features are easily accessible through an intuitive, built-in Designer.
