Carlos,

The GetType(...) method which exists on all object instances
is used to get a Type instance. This doesn't have anything to
do with a file-type I'm afraid, it has more to do with the
.NET type system and reflection capabilities.

What you are probably after is the "Extension" property on
the "FileInfo" instance.

Hi all,
I thought I could use GetType.FullName of the system.io.fileinfo
namespace to retrieve the file type what can I use because its not
working?

Thank you
Carlos

Hi Mitch


This would only return the extension of the file and =
not the type though e.g. .doc or .xls etc can it not return =
application/msword I have seen some programs do it but obviously you =
can't see their code.

Any ideas?
