    Extract Youtube ID from url

    Razor

    Im looking to embed a youtube video from a parameter on a doc type.

    I want it to be as generic as possible, so the user doesn't have to worry about finding the exact ID but can just copy the entire url fromyoutube.

    So i need to extract the ID from the url

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w59e20ijOpE

    That would mean getting 11 characters after the "=" character, resulting in: 

    w59e20ijOpE

    How would one do this in razor?

    Thanks. Thats great. I fiddled around a bit and got this:

        string myString = CurrentPage.youtubeID;
    int charPositionStart = myString.IndexOf("=");
    int lengthOfText = 11;
    myString = myString.Substring(charPositionStart+1, lengthOfText);

    That would make it work as well if the url doesnt stop with the ID, like:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p69z3zytU6I&list=LLzZhNDYY7C2h9-2oqcrziJQ

    This might be more robust

    var uri = new Uri(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<string>("myYouTubePropertyAlias"));
var query = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(uri.Query);

var youTubeId = query.Get("v");
