hi All,

i need of some way to restricting users to upload the files other than of "rtf" or "Pdf"

code i m using

string strUploadType = ctrBrowse.PostedFile.ContentType;
string strUploadedFilePath = ctrBrowse.PostedFile.FileName;
string strEjoinPathName = Server.MapPath("..//Uploads//");

strUploadType = ctrBrowse.PostedFile.ContentType;
strUploadedFilePath = ctrBrowse.PostedFile.FileName; intResumeSize = ctrBrowse.PostedFile.ContentLength;

if ((strUploadType != "application/msword" && strUploadType != "application/pdf") || intResumeSize > 500000)


it is working fine for normal case
but the problem is if i rename any image or exe file as .doc, it is taking it as "application/msword" based on extention of file.

can anybody suggest me a solution ... i m in urgent need of this

As you are experiencing, the content type of the uploaded file is determined by the file extension.

The only solution I can think of would be to read the file to determine if is the one of the desired type. You could try to load the file in the appropriate application (word, adobe reader) and determine if the file loaded successfully. If not, then you could assume it is not a valid format for that extension.

Well....
One hint i got is when i check the Content type of a file by removing its Extension, it do suggest me the correct content type of file.
Now the problem i am facing is, i dont know any way of checking the content type of file which id not picked up from browser control.
if you can suggest any way for this ...i think the issue will resolve.


is there any way i can get code for implementing browse control manually??:(

Thanks,
Saurav
