Remarks

This element is used in the DocIcon.xml file to drive mapping between file extensions and their corresponding document library icons.

If you want the document library feature to support a new file extension, add the extension to a ByExtension section, and then restart the server.

For an example that shows how to use the ByExtension element, see DocIcons element (Document Icons).
