Conclusion

The above two approaches can be implemented either one or both at a time. Both the approaches have their own merits and demerits. In the case of Client side approach, the JavaScript should be enabled in the Client's browser; in the case of Server side approach, we have to make an extra server loop. So, it is upon you to choose which one is suitable to your application.

You really shouldn't be using the file extension as an identifier to the type of file. Use the MIME type.

I was expecting that when I click on Browse button, It will list only different type of text files as specified
".xls", ".doc", ".rtf", ".pdf", ".html", ".htm", ".sdw", ".vor"

Where as I am getting various other files too.
I expect it would filter initially and should not validate after it is selected.

Title: How to retrieve File date info?   
Name: NP
Date: 8/14/2008 10:12:15 PM
Comment:
Is there a way to retrieve last modified or created dates for file using the file upload control? I use file upload control to mainly get the file bytes and use it to store file contents in database.
However, my requirement is also to have original file date from client side and to store it in database. I am unable to get the date stamp from client side
Appreciate any help.

Good article. However, you can use flash and ASP.NET to set the file filters on the open dialog box itself and to upload multiple files at one.
