How to Connect Video in VB.NET
The Visual Studio software lets you create VB.NET applications including video connections. You use the Microsoft Media Player control to connect to a video, and stream the video in your Web pages. The control is included with your .NET programming compiler, so you need only add the control to your Web form and point to the location of the video to connect to it.
