FileUpload FileSpec

[Rory Becker]

Is there any way to tell the FileUpload control to produce a clientside dialog
with a particular filespec filter on it.

For example I would like to restrict users to only uploading pdf files.

Thanks

string filename = FileUpload1.FileName;
string extension = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(FileUpload1.FileName);
if (extension == ".pdf")
{
//your upload code...
}
}

Hello Juan,

if (FileUpload1.HasFile)
{
string filename = FileUpload1.FileName;
string extension = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(FileUpload1.FileName);
if (extension == ".pdf")
{
//your upload code...
}
}

Thanks Juan. I already have something like that on the server-side.

I was hoping however to present the user of my site with a slightly friendlier
interface by masking out everything other than pdfs in the dialog itself.

Looking around the net it doesn't seem like it's possible though.

According to w3.org you could try the "accept" attribute :

that said I'm not sure this is widely supported...
