How To Restrict The Files To Image Type Using File Upload
Jul 6, 2010
i am using file upload, i wanted to restrict the files showing in the dialog box to images only. That is 'Files of Type' in the dialog box should be .jpg,.jpeg,.gif,.bmp,.png
when i first made the DB i used access 2010 which uses the 2007 file type which supports attachments, however asp.net doesnt support the 2007 format. and the 2003 file type doesnt support attachments, i assume i use the OLE object data type but i have no idea how i get my aspx page "new.aspx" to upload an attachment. plus i want to restrict the file type to *.jpg

I want to limit the allowed uploaded file types to images, pdfs, and docs. What is the recommended way to approach this?I assume checking the file extension alone is not enough, since an attacked can change the file extension as he wishes.I also thought about checking against MIME Type using PostedFile.ContentType.I still don't know if this is adding any further functionality than checking against file extensions alone, and if an attacker have and ability to change this information easily.This is basically for a course management system for students to upload assignments and teachers to download and view them.

I'm using a slightly modified version of Valum's upload [github link], I've modified it to upload to a database but haven't modified the javascript that it is using to get the file into the Request as an InputStream. The following line of code is failing in IE 8 but is confirmed to work in Chrome. using (Image imgInput = Image.FromStream(Request.InputStream)) The error received is "Parameter not valid". It appears to be having an issue with the Input Stream being used but it exists/has data (not sure how to validate if the data is good or not).

I want to store this file in Images folder of server. I am beginner to WCF. Should I look towards WCF?
I was referring muddasar's one of the article for the validation. Below is my code and i am trying to validate the file upload selected file format on the submit button.

My full sample code is below for easy testing,

I have an ASP.NET file upload control which sits as part of a form. The file upload control is on the content page while the form definition is on a master page across the site. I've added multipart/form-enc to the form on the master page.I'm using jQuery to submit the form as I show a dialog box from jQuery UI.When I post, no file is returned to the server. The file upload control has no file and HttpFileCollection is empty.
I have a File Upload Control, so i click the 'Browse' button and when i select a file from the select file dialog, i want the file to be shown as a link below the File Upload Control( somewhat similar to gmail). This file should be seen such a way that it can be deleted, if i wanted to. And also i should be able to upload another file from the File Upload control.All these files should be uploaded to a location when i use a button click event in the end.
