    // Literal control bind using SqlData Source below link use and bind DataList and Literal Control

        SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection();
        cn.ConnectionString = @"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\ASPNETDB.MDF;IntegratedSecurity=True;User Instance=True";
        cn.Open();

You can use a WebBrowser control to show embedded youtube video. To do so, put a WebBrowser control on a form and the put the following code in form: 

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnLoad(e);
    var embed = "<html><head>"+
    "<meta http-equiv=\"X-UA-Compatible\" content=\"IE=Edge\"/>"+
    "</head><body>" +
    "<iframe width=\"300\" src=\"{0}\"" +
    "frameborder = \"0\" allow = \"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen></iframe>" +
    "</body></html>";
    var url = "https://www.youtube.com/embed/L6ZgzJKfERM";
    this.webBrowser1.DocumentText = string.Format(embed, url);
}

enter image description here

Note

  1. You should make sure you use the correct url. For example for a video that you can see at this address: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6ZgzJKfERM, the embed url is https://www.youtube.com/embed/L6ZgzJKfERM.

  2. Also you should make sure the video is allowed to be played as embedded. Some videos are just allowed to play on youtube and after you click on play button you receive this error:

    This video contains content from XXXXXX. It is restricted from playback on certain sites or applications.
