Viewing Embed Link (Thumbnail) that is the content of a property

Dean Everhart 1,496

I would like to be able to access an embed link that is the string content of a property in the same manner that the code below allows me to access a web link that is the string content of a property.

<a href=@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Reference1Access)>@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Reference1)</a>

Ultimately I would like to be able to see a thumbnail of the embedded video in addition to a text description.

Could you please share a bit more regarding your asp.net core version you are currently using? In addition to this, you could have a look in this blog if that can meet what you are trying to achieve?

Thanks for your response, you could then use ThumbnailProvider which is using win dll API.

Sure, I can do that in that case would you kindly share few more details cod snippet what are you up to now, for instance, what kind of content you are getting inside your embedded link and how you are getting. I will make the demo based on that.

I used the Student property set FirstLastName property to hold a few sample embed links from YouTube and cloned to GitHub.

Not sure which link is best to use to share the project on GitHub (with .git or without) https://github.com/DeanEverhart/ContoUniversity-Embed https://github.com/DeanEverhart/ContoUniversity-Embed.git
