HI all,
I'm storing images, jpgs/gifs/png/bmps and also some other binary files in a
SQL image field in a SQL 2k database.
Most of the images enter the database via a asp.net webform upload, here I
can use HttpPostedFile. ContentType to enter into the db the contenttype of
the file (because in some cases BMPs are actually renamed (by dumb users) to
..JPG which obviously causes problems...
The problem I have is where I am picking files off the file system (in a
bulk import) into a filestream, how can I tell if an image is really a JPG
or a BMP or wotever once its in a byte[] ?...
cheers if u can help..

How does your Operating System know what type of file a file is? By the
extension. If the extension is wrong, your Operating System can't identify
the type of file that it is, or do anything useful with it. A binary file is
just a bunch of bits. In other words, you're going to have to use the same
technique. If a user renames a file extension through their own stupidity,
that's their problem.

Not quite true: lots of filetypes have identifying information somewhere at
the start.
For unix (which does not depend on extensions) there are tools that find the
type
of the file by inspecting this information.

I've not tried this, but I think you can load the Byte array into a
System.Drawing. Image. Once you have it loaded, check the RawFormat()
Property. I think that will look at the actual byte array and figure out
what kind of image it really is, reguardless of the extension.

Well, now, I didn't think of that! I have no idea whether or not it would
work, but I'm willing to bet that it would, since these are all graphics

I have a question about how System.Web.HttpPostedFile manages mime types using property ContentType in Windows.
When I upload a known "text/plain" file with no extension the property doesnt recognizes the type, showing a blank string or some weird characters. But if I put an extension like .pdf ou .exe to that same file the ContentType shows "text/plain".
Is that result expected?
