Upload video on YouTube in ASP.NET or MVC

In this post you will learn how to upload video on YouTube from your application. I’ve used ASP.NET Web Forms as well as MVC bits to implement all functionality easily. You can achieve similar functionality ASP.NET Web Forms or MVC alone.

Before you begin here, download the source code and replace with your client id and secret in Controller > YouTubeController.cs file.

Getting client id and secret from google console is easy, but make sure the highlighted options in below screenshot, authorized redirect url should be exact same. Note to remove localhost when going on production.


If you want to upload video on YouTube, here’s the prototype explained in 2 easy steps:

1. User will select video file and hit upload button on default.aspx page

When user will click on upload button, below code will be invoked which is written in uploadOnYouTube.js file:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $(document).on("click", "#btnVedioSubmit", uploadMetaDataYouTube);
});


2. Upon button click a new Ajax request will execute to send data into MVC Controller

Look into above script, this will invoke uploadMetaDataYouTube method which will talk to MVC Controller to upload video and get upload status.

The MVC controller will have responsibility to validate the token and get new refreshed token. This refreshed token will be stored in some DataStore, in our case this is file system. Keep in mind, when you run your application first time, this will open a new tab and ask you to grant permissions, once this happens correctly, this issue a refreshed token which gets stored. This stored refreshed token will be used in next request onwards. If you want to store refreshed token in database, please read this post http://www.daimto.com/google-oauth2-csharp/.

Once application gets the refreshed token, this will begin file upload, here’s my working code:


You will receive upload status, like Booting, Starting, uploading with progress bar, Completed.

Hope this helps.

Migrating database from ASP.NET Identity to ASP.NET Core Identity

Image
As you know ASP.NET Core Identity (table structure) is different from what we had earlier in ASP.NET Identity. Actually the identity system which we have today with .NET Core is very mature and continuously evolved be it ASP.NET Membership, ASP.NET Identity 1, ASP.NET Identity 2 and now ASP.NET Core Identity. Recently I had to migrate few application to ASP.NET Core and similar its identity database. Because the table schema is changed, i had to re-think and create migration script which I would like to share with you today. It is very simple and easy, just three step and I had everything ready: STEP 1 : Change name of existing tables STEP 2 : Create ASP.NET Core Identity tables STEP 3 : Migrate data from old tables (ASP.NET Identity) to new tables (ASP.NET Core Identity) Script:  https://gist.github.com/itorian/c699e8534b392a6c726ec66c48100072 You should also watch my video, where I demoed migration.

Lambda two tables and three tables inner join code samples

In this blog post you will learn inner join using lambda queries. There will be two samples, in first sample you will see how you can join two tables and in second sample you will see how you can extend even further to join three tables and so on. I will sample in-memory data, but the same implementation will work with IQueryable (lazy query) too. Here's the code snippet:- namespace ConsoleApp1 {     class Program     {         static void Main()         {             var table1 = new List<Table1>();             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 1, Name = "Name 1" , Address = "Address 1" });             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 2, Name = "Name 2" , Address = "Address 2" });             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 3, Name = "Name 3" , Address = "Address 3" });             table1.Add( new Table1 { Id = 4, Name = "Name 4" , Address = "Address 4" });
