Question

Hello,

On a form in my ASP.NET MVC Application I am uploading a file.

Before I save the file I want to validate it by checking its extension. For example:

Accept files of type jpg, gif, pdf and doc.

On my controller I have:

  HttpPostedFileBase document = Request.Files["Path"] as HttpPostedFileBase;
  string type = document.ContentType;

I think I need to use ContentType I am just not sure how to check the extension without saving the file ...

How can I do this?

Thanks,

Miguel

Check HttpPostedFileBase.FileName and Path.GetExtension().
