I am attempting to retrieve a filename from my database and load it into the VideoURL property of a standard ASPNETVIDEO MediaCenter control.

The filename returns as empty when attempting to do so.

I can load the filename string into a label without issue.

I am using a Datalast bound to a Data source on the page. I have the video file in the same folder as the page. I am using Visual Web Developer 2008.

Aspx:
Code:

Code:

<asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server" BackColor="White"
BorderColor="#E7E7FF" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="3"
DataKeyField="VideoID" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
GridLines="Horizontal" ondatabinding="DataList1_DataBinding">
<FooterStyle BackColor="#B5C7DE" ForeColor="#4A3C8C" />
<AlternatingItemStyle BackColor="#F7F7F7" />
<ItemStyle BackColor="#E7E7FF" ForeColor="#4A3C8C" />
<SelectedItemStyle BackColor="#738A9C" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#F7F7F7" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#4A3C8C" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#F7F7F7" />
<ItemTemplate>
<table class="style1">
<tr>
<td class="style2" valign="top">
<br />
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" CssClass="subheading"
Text='<%# Eval("Title") %>'></asp:Label>
<br />
<br />
    
<asp:Label ID="DescriptionLabel" runat="server"
Text='<%# Eval("Description") %>' />
</td>
<td> <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("FileName") %>'></asp:Label>
<ASPNetVideo:WindowsMedia ID="WindowsMedia1" runat="server"
VideoURL='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"filename")%>'>
</ASPNetVideo:WindowsMedia>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="style2" valign="top">
 </td>
<td>
 </td>
</tr>
</table>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:AIHSConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [AIHS_getVideo]"></asp:SqlDataSource>

When I databind to a label control, it works fine. I can see the filename displayed.
The VideoURL paramter doesn't seem to like being databound or something.

I have/had the same issue. Try assigning in ItemDataBound event:

Private Sub movieList_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListItemEventArgs) Handles movieList.ItemDataBound

If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Then
' set reference to current data record
Dim dataRow As BLL.cFile = CType(e.Item.DataItem, BLL.cFile)

'find the player
Try
Dim objPlayer As ASPNetFlashVideo.FlashVideo = CType(e.Item.FindControl("FlashVideo1"), ASPNetFlashVideo.FlashVideo)
objPlayer.VideoURL = String.Format("~/Pages/Secured/GetFile.aspx?FileID={0}", dataRow.FileID)
Catch ex As Exception

End Try
End If

End Sub

This sets the URL fine but my video does not play. Hopefully it works for you.
