SilverlightStreamingMedia Control Reference
The SilverlightStreamingMedia control extends the ASP.NET Futures Media control by allowing you to play videos from your Silverlight Streaming account. Using the control at design time, you can specify your account credentials and choose the video you want to display on your Web page.
Drag and drop the SilverlightStreamingMedia control on your web page and switch to designer view. From here, you can specify the URL for the video from your Silverlight Streaming account by clicking on the "..." ellipses button in the "Common SilverlightStreamingMedia tasks". From the "Select Media File" dialog box, provide your account id and key for your Silverlight Streaming account, then choose the video you want display.
Once you have selected the video and closed the "Select Media File" dialog, your account id and key are added to your web.config.
