If it's an asp.net application, you can just embed an object tag in your markup. Check out the "<embed>" button to get the tag info for an individual video.
If it's a Windows Forms or WPF desktop application, why not just embed a browser control with the same tag?
Either way, you should be able to just make the object tag invisible and still be able to hear the music.

i would like to make a music player that plays from youtube with my own controls designed so web-browsing integration i think is not an option

I know it might seem kind of like a hack, but you can execute javascript into a browser control which could start and stop the video as the user presses your custom buttons?

that is a good idea. I'll implement that if no other way is found. Do you know if there is a way to hide the video ? i would like to make my own loading bar for the track . Does Youtube provide playing bar info?

I don't konw about playing bar info, but you should be able to hide it by applying the css style visibility: hidden to the object tag. display: none will not work properly, however.
