Is there any way to get the mime type of a file with the framework =
classes? Any other ways of getting this?

Thanks, Ryan

unfortunately the only way I ever seen this done was to have an internal
table inside of your program that matches file extensions to mime type.

I don't believe there is anything in the framework to do this manually for
you, but I've seen a couple of charts out on the web with the data.

Ryan,
I've ran into this a while ago and built a select case construct (vb) that
covers about 98% of the known types. I can send this to you offlist. Let me
know if you want it...

Ryan,

If you were executing with the appropriate trush you could
look up the registry:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.<extension>\ContentType

Not all keys have the associated value and it would take
a bit of time to acccess the values in the hive. Your
best approach would probably be to have a static lookup
table in your program like Dave and Mac have suggested
and use this as a fall back mechanism. In your code you
will probably want to put your registry access in a try
block and tap into the security system to make sure things
go smoothly if you happen not to be fully trusted.

More food for thought.
