MIME types in C#
Oct 26 2009 ยท .NET Platform
The .NET Framework has no methods to get the MIME type of a file and, as I was in need of such functionality a while back, I’m glad I found this post on CSharpFriends.com (UPDATE: removed link, CSharpFriends.com is dead) which presents a switch statement that maps numerous filename extensions to the appropiate MIME type.
I was somewhat dismayed that someone mentioned using the system registry to lookup the MIME types, and the OP seemed to have gone with this method. Using the registry cuts down your codebase, but that’s little more than a convenience; there are some important issues that pop up when using the registry in this situation:
- It only works if the file extension is known to Windows; either the version of Windows the app is running on knows of the file extension or an application puts the file extension into the registry.
- It binds (read: couples) your app to a third-party component, in a situation where there is no need to.
- It locks you into a specific platform (i.e. it won’t work with Mono). Even if it’s not a major issue, there’s no reason to lock your app to a certain platform when you don’t have to.
UPDATE: As CSharpFriends.com is dead, the code I derived from the original post is below. The FromFileName() function will take a filepath, get the extension from the filename, and return the MIME type of the file.
static public string FromFileName(string filepath)
{
switch (System.IO.Path.GetExtension(filepath).ToLower())
