Web Forms :: How To Get Content (MIME) Type Of Uploaded File
Jul 22, 2013
When inserting a binary file do you know what will be the correct content type for extensions like .txt or .gif or others not in your sample? Is there a list of correct content types?
I have a simple upload page using the html file element. I choose a .pdf file to upload and when I inspect the Content type of the file when it goes to server the value is "application/msword" instead of "application/pdf"
I would like to use HTML input file type in my aspx page to allow user to browse for a excel file and then read the content of the excel sheet programmatically.If I want to read the excel sheet I need the full path of the file to connect to the excel sheet using asp.net.I do not understand how can I get the full path of the file.I know I can get the filename using postedFile.FileName property.But I need the full path of the file.
I am working on the application that allows user to upload a file (from their local machine) and store the uploaded file in database.Then,the content of the file (such as ContentType,FileSize etc)can be view in a DetailsView control.
I have an ASP.NET FileUpload control, which allows only image type. I used RegularExpressionValidator like below.
<asp:FileUpload ID="fuPhoto" runat="server" TabIndex="40" /> <asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator3" runat="server" ControlToValidate="fuPhoto" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="* You can only upload .jpg, .gif or .png image types." ValidationExpression="^.*.(jpg|JPG|jpeg|JPEG|gif|GIF|png|PNG)$">* You can only upload .jpg, .gif or .png image types.</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
This method will only verify the file's extension, not its actual type. Once I receive the file, I want to examine its contents to determine what it really is, in this case image only.
As I understand it, in IIS7 if I can get to it I should see both custom additions in my web.config as well as the mime types defined in the IIS manager at the machine level.
I don't understand how to get to this data. I have messed with the configurationmanager but I am not getting anywhere. I can get a section names system.webServer but I don't see any of the actual data as colleciton of properties or as xml.
I'm getting this message when going to a web app that accesses my service.
"The content type text/html of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (text/xml; charset=utf-8)..."
The thing is, it happens once in a while even when no changes have been made to the service or the web app. And I can make it go away most of the time by going directly to the .svc?wsdl page in my browser and then coming back to the web app.
I'm busy writing a handler to serve various documents for download or presentation in web forms pages. The documents range from various image formats, to PDF, to MS Office documents, to generic binaries. My basic draft of the download process is as below:
[code]....
However, I have some misgivings about lumping all documents together as application/octet-stream, and I would prefer, if feasible, to use a more specific content type per document type. I have a DB table for document types where I could store this. Am I going in the right direction, and if so, where can I find a suitable starting list of content types for document types?
I'm using an AsyncFileUploader and I want to check if the uploaded file is of valid type (e.g. jpg, gif, png, etc...) and if not the AsyncFileUploader should be colored in Red (like ErrorbackColor setting to Red)
Is this possible either using Javascript or FileUploader events?
i am uploading a file through file upload control , file size has greater then 4 MB, I have to give the proper alert msg to the user that file size exceeding the limit.how to do it , because at server side it is crashed on the IIS and not return to the server to check the file size validation.that how it is possible to validate the file size and give the proper alert messege
I wanted to customize/Restrict the File Uploader control as follows:
1. To restrict Users to not to upload some type of file like.exe
2. To restrict the user to a specific size limit.
I also wanted to be able to display appropriate messages to the user if the abover restrictions are violated.
Can I use the validations control to achieve the above goals. As I am already using these controls to display appropriate messages to the user in case of wrong/invalid data.
Actually i am trying to storing the uploaded file into database but when i run this codes:
[Code]....
I got this error: " Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'File'.Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'File'. " can anybody tell me why this error came out?I tried toi change my connection string in web config,but it still showing the same error each time i run it in my local.
I am writing a simple web page that users can upload an image file. After the file is uploaded, Users can fill up other question in the web page. then users click the submit button to register them and the file is uploaded previously is move to special folder and is saved there. Know i want to delete the uploaded file if the user upload the file but dont click the submit button and close the web page. because i dont need the file uploaded until the user is not registered.I use Session_End event but i dont know why it dont work.
When I upload a file through a web page to a directory on the webserver the file does not inherit the parent folders rights. So when a user tries to access the file from the local network after the upload they recieve access denied. How can I set the rights on the file after the upload or get the rights to set correctly when the file is uploaded. The file uploads correctly but only has the rights of Network service, system,internet guest account and IIS_WPG. I need it to have a specific user or everyone which the parent folder has and is set to propogate permissions.
