I'm uploading a file and want to detect its file extension, so I can add it onto the path of the file, for example 435.jpg, in classic asp I used - File.ext

How do you detect it in ASP.Net (VB)?


Also, how do you overwrite files? Here is my sub


Sub Upload_Click(Sender as Object, e as EventArgs)

      UploadDetails.visible = True

' Let us recover only the file name from its fully qualified path at client

        Dim strFileName as string
        strFileName = MyFile.PostedFile.FileName
        Dim c as string = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(strFileName) ' only the attched file name not its path

                 ' Let us Save uploaded file to server at C:\ServerFolder

  Dim strSQL2 As String = "UPDATE Product set Prod_Image = " & _
                          " '" & c & "' WHERE ProdID = " & Request("ProdID")


  Connect()

  Dim dbComm As New SqlCommand(strSQL2, objConnection)
  dbComm.ExecuteNonQuery()
  Disconnect()

           MyFile.PostedFile.SaveAs(getAssetsPath + c)
     UploadDetails.Overwrite = True


              Response.Redirect("products.aspx?ProdRangeID=" & Request("ProdRangeID"))

End Sub

Path.GetExtension(strFilePath)

would get you the File Extension. Path class is available in System.IO namespace.
