In this tutorial, you will learn how to build an ASP.NET server control by creating a HTML5 video player control. Along the way, we’ll review the fundamental process of server control development from scratch.
Introduction
Introduction
ASP.NET comes with its own set of server-side controls, so why create our own?
By creating our own controls, we can then build powerful, reusable visual components for our Web application’s user interface.
This tutorial will introduce you to the process of ASP.NET server control development. You’ll also see how creating your own controls can simultaneously improve the quality of your Web applications, make you more productive and improve your user interfaces.
ASP.NET custom controls are more flexible than user controls. We can create a custom control that inherits from another server-side control and then extend that control. We can also share a custom control among projects. Typically, we will create our custom control in a web custom control library that is compiled separately from our web application. As a result, we can add that library to any project in order to use our custom control in that project.

HTML5 Video Overview
Until now, there has never been a native way to display video on a web page. Today, most videos are shown, via the use of a plugin (like Flash or Silverlight). However, not all browsers have the same plugins. HTML5 specifies a standard, native way to include video, with the video element.
Currently, there are two widely supported video formats for the video element: Ogg files [encoded with Theora and Vorbis for video and audio respectively] and MPEG 4 files [encoded with H.264 and AAC].

To show a video in HTML5, this is all we need:
<video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>
