I think you can consider using Silverlight or Flash. Currently those are the most commonly used solutions for your needs.

You can use SilverLight player (article) to stay with .net background but also can mix site with Flash (flash advantage: it's much more widespread compared to silverlight, though the gap is getting closer)

yes dude but can you tell me hows can i convert a media file to flash using c# ? – Abhishek Jul 13 '10 at 06:06
I suppose you should try some free (or nearly free) avi to flv converters http://www.videozilla.net/, ImTOO FLV Converter, e.t.c that support console mode batch conversion. You can execute console to complete conversion task and programatically terminate task if it hangs for some reason or workstation is getting out of memory. – Andrew Florko Jul 13 '10 at 06:19
thank a lot to reply , is there any programmatic techniques from which can we convert the video files to flash without using these converters ? – Abhishek Jul 13 '10 at 06:33
take a look at http://www.dominion-web.com/applications/flvconverter/ (I suspect it's just exe call wrapper). There is also similar discussion: http://techrepublic.com.com/5208-3513-0.html?forumID=101&threadID=244700 – Andrew Florko Jul 13 '10 at 07:00
