Question

I am using ASP.NET’s “handler” to show images in an application. I need to play files of audio and video like I do with the image: I recover it from database and show it on an aspx page. Can I create a “handler” for the video and the audio? I don’t want that a dialog box is opened asking to the user if he wants to play or save the video file.

I want to play it like YouTube does.

Maybe I can use silverlight for that.

Thank you!

It consists of two parts.

1. A handler or something that streams the video under the hood.
2. A client (can be implemented in Silverlight or Flash) that’s on an standard HTML page that fetches the video from the handler and displays it.
