How can I get the MIME type from a file extension?

I think that the best would be http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mimemapping.aspx

@Yuki, thanks for adding new relevant info. Unfortunately the MS implementation, which is available in .NET 4.5, only has 195 mappings, has no way to add more, and is not configurable. My listing below has 560+ mappings. Oddly, the MS listing is missing extremely common MS extensions even, like .docx and .xlsx and other important web extensions like .csv, .swf, and .air.

For ASP.NET or other
The options were changed a bit in ASP.NET Core, here they are (credits):
new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider().TryGetContentType(fileName, out contentType);(vNext only)- Never tested, but looks like you can officially expand the mime types list via the exposed
Mappingsproperty.
- Never tested, but looks like you can officially expand the mime types list via the exposed
- Use the
MimeTypesNuGet package - Copy the
MimeMappingsfile from the reference source of the .NET Framework
For .NET Framework >= 4.5:
Use the System.Web.MimeMapping.GetMimeMapping method, that is part of the BCL in .NET Framework 4.5:
string mimeType = MimeMapping.GetMimeMapping(fileName);
If you need to add custom mappings you probably can use reflection to add mappings to the BCL MimeMapping class, it uses a custom dictionary that exposes this method, so you should invoke the following to add mappings (never tested tho, but should prob. work).
Anyway, when using reflection to add MIME types, be aware that since you're accessing a private field, its name might change or even be totally removed, so you should be extra cautious and add double checks and provide fail safe action for every step.
MimeMapping._mappingDictionary.AddMapping(string fileExtension, string mimeType)

UPDATE
For up-to-date mapping with additions from many contributors, see this GitHub repository:
https://github.com/samuelneff/MimeTypeMap
and NuGet package
https://www.nuget.org/packages/MimeTypeMapOfficial/
I've found many mime types my application uses are not in the default Windows registry and others are in the registry but not in the list included with IIS. I've compiled a list from these locations and added a few others that we use.
EDIT: See most up-do-date version with contributions here, including an efficient and deterministic two-way mapping.
private static IDictionary<string, string> _mappings = new Dictionary<string, string>(StringComparer.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) {
#region Big freaking list of mime types
// combination of values from Windows 7 Registry and
// from C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
// some added, including .7z and .dat

You can use this helper function:
private string GetMimeType (string fileName)
{
string mimeType = "application/unknown";
string ext = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(fileName).ToLower();
Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey regKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(ext);
if (regKey != null && regKey.GetValue("Content Type") != null)
mimeType = regKey.GetValue("Content Type").ToString();
return mimeType;
}

Just to make Shimmy's answer more clear:
var mimeType = MimeMapping.GetMimeMapping(fileName);
System.Web.dll v4.5
// Summary:
// Returns the MIME mapping for the specified file name.
//
// Parameters:
// fileName:
// The file name that is used to determine the MIME type.
public static string GetMimeMapping(string fileName);

I like the work that Samuel Neff did, but not the idea and overhead of creating a dictionary every time.
I restructured things as a switch case. Yes you can't iterate over it but in my case I only ever use it to quickly look up a value. Especially because it is done in a web service, the last thing I want is a bunch of overhead as the application prepares its structures. The compiler will turn this into a hashed lookup and so it will be very fast.

throw new ArgumentNullException("extension");

extension = extension.Substring(1);

I've written a program to fetch and convert the Apache mime.types file to a C# Dictionary<string, string> keyed by file extension. It's here.
The actual output is this file (but you might want to grab it and run it again in case the Apache file has been updated since I last ran this).
public static Dictionary<string, string> MimeTypes = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "123", "application/vnd.lotus-1-2-3" },
{ "3dml", "text/vnd.in3d.3dml" },
{ "3g2", "video/3gpp2" },
{ "3gp", "video/3gpp" },
{ "7z", "application/x-7z-compressed" },
{ "aab", "application/x-authorware-bin" },
{ "aac", "audio/x-aac" },
{ "aam", "application/x-authorware-map" },
{ "aas", "application/x-authorware-seg" },
{ "abw", "application/x-abiword" },

To make the post more comprehensive, for .NET Core devs there is FileExtensionContentTypeProvider class, which covers the official MIME content types.
It works behind the scene - sets ContentType in the Http Response headers based on the filename extension.
In case you need special MIME types, see example on customising the MIME types:
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
// Set up custom content types -associating file extension to MIME type
var provider = new FileExtensionContentTypeProvider();
// Add new mappings
provider.Mappings[".myapp"] = "application/x-msdownload";
provider.Mappings[".htm3"] = "text/html";
provider.Mappings[".image"] = "image/png";
// Replace an existing mapping
provider.Mappings[".rtf"] = "application/x-msdownload";
// Remove MP4 videos.
provider.Mappings.Remove(".mp4");
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions()
{
FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(
Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), @"wwwroot", "images")),
RequestPath = new PathString("/MyImages"),
ContentTypeProvider = provider
});
app.UseDirectoryBrowser(new DirectoryBrowserOptions()
{
FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(
Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), @"wwwroot", "images")),
RequestPath = new PathString("/MyImages")
});
}

Inspired by Samuel's answer, I wrote an improved version:
- Also works when extension is uppercase.
- Take filename as input, handle files without extensions gracefully.
- Don't include "." in keys.
- List from Apache, for which I wrote a small transformation script.
The resulting source code is over 30K characters so I can't post it here, check it on Github.

You should not trust the file extension coming from client. Always check the file's magic number.
Using FileTpeInterrogator with ASP.NET Core:
public static class FileTypeChecker
{
private static List<string> validVideoMimeTypes = new List<string> { "video/mp4", "video/quicktime" };
private static List<string> validImageMimeTypes = new List<string> { "image/png", "image/jpeg" };
public static bool IsValidVideo(IFormFile file)
{
return validVideoMimeTypes.Contains(GetFileMimeType(file));
}
public static bool IsValidImage(IFormFile file)
{
return validImageMimeTypes.Contains(GetFileMimeType(file));
}
private static string GetFileMimeType(IFormFile file)
{
// You should have checked for null and file length before reaching here
IFileTypeInterrogator interrogator = new FileTypeInterrogator.FileTypeInterrogator();
byte[] fileBytes;
using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
{
file.CopyTo(stream);
fileBytes = stream.ToArray();
}
FileTypeInfo fileTypeInfo = interrogator.DetectType(fileBytes);
return fileTypeInfo.MimeType.ToLower();
}
}
Inside your controller or service:
public IActionResult UploadVideo([FromForm] UploadVideoVM model)
{
if (model.File.Length < minimumLength || model.File.Length > maximumLength)
{
// BadRequest => Size
}
else if (!FileTypeChecker.IsValidVideo(model.File))
{
// BadRequest => Type
}
else
{
// All good
}
return Ok();
}
To get MIME type of a file extension refer to this file.

You could use the table provided from Apache's httpd. It should be trivial to map this into a function, dictionary, list, etc.
Also, as seen here, extension->mime type is not necessarily a function. There may be multiple common MIME types per file extension, so you should look at the requirements of your application, and see why you care about MIME types, what you want "to do" with them, etc. Can you use file extensions to key the same behavior? Do you need to read the first few bytes of a file to determine its MIME type as well?

My take at those mimetypes, using the apache list, the below script will give you a dictionary with all the mimetypes.
var mimeTypeListUrl = "http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf/mime.types";
var webClient = new WebClient();
var rawData = webClient.DownloadString(mimeTypeListUrl).Split(new[] { Environment.NewLine, "\n" }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
var extensionToMimeType = new Dictionary<string, string>();
var mimeTypeToExtension = new Dictionary<string, string[]>();
foreach (var row in rawData)
{
if (row.StartsWith("#")) continue;
var rowData = row.Split(new[] { "\t" }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
if (rowData.Length != 2) continue;
var extensions = rowData[1].Split(new[] { " " }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
if (!mimeTypeToExtension.ContainsKey(rowData[0]))
{
mimeTypeToExtension.Add(rowData[0], extensions);
}
foreach (var extension in extensions)
{
if (!extensionToMimeType.ContainsKey(extension))
{
extensionToMimeType.Add(extension, rowData[0]);
}
}
}

Use MimeTypeMap package, which provides a huge two-way mapping of file extensions to mime types and mime types to file extensions
using MimeTypes;
Getting the mime type to an extension
Console.WriteLine("txt -> " + MimeTypeMap.GetMimeType("txt")); // "text/plain"
Getting the extension to a mime type
Console.WriteLine("audio/wav -> " + MimeTypeMap.GetExtension("audio/wav")); // ".wav"

If you do not want to add additional dependencies and still want version-independent requests, you can mix this answer on how to get the MIME-Type in different .NET versions with this answer on conditional builds for multiple .NET Framework versions.
First thing I did was editing my project file. After the last build definition, I added the property group as stated in the second answer:
<PropertyGroup>
<DefineConstants Condition=" !$(DefineConstants.Contains(';NET')) ">$(DefineConstants);$(TargetFrameworkVersion.Replace("v", "NET").Replace(".", ""))</DefineConstants>
<DefineConstants Condition=" $(DefineConstants.Contains(';NET')) ">$(DefineConstants.Remove($(DefineConstants.LastIndexOf(";NET"))));$(TargetFrameworkVersion.Replace("v", "NET").Replace(".", ""))</DefineConstants>
</PropertyGroup>
Now I provided a different implementations for the MimeExtensionHelper from the first answer, with an additional one for all clients from .NET 4.5 or later simply calling System.Web.MimeMapping.GetMimeMapping:
#if (NET10 || NET11 || NET20 || NET30 || NET35)
public static class MimeExtensionHelper
{
static object locker = new object();
static MethodInfo getMimeMappingMethodInfo;
static MimeExtensionHelper()
{
Type mimeMappingType = Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(HttpRuntime)).GetType("System.Web.MimeMapping");
if (mimeMappingType == null)
throw new SystemException("Couldnt find MimeMapping type");
ConstructorInfo constructorInfo = mimeMappingType.GetConstructor(BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance, null, Type.EmptyTypes, null);
if (constructorInfo == null)
throw new SystemException("Couldnt find default constructor for MimeMapping");
mimeMapping = constructorInfo.Invoke(null);
if (mimeMapping == null)
throw new SystemException("Couldnt find MimeMapping");
getMimeMappingMethodInfo = mimeMappingType.GetMethod("GetMimeMapping", BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
if (getMimeMappingMethodInfo == null)
throw new SystemException("Couldnt find GetMimeMapping method");
if (getMimeMappingMethodInfo.ReturnType != typeof(string))
throw new SystemException("GetMimeMapping method has invalid return type");
if (getMimeMappingMethodInfo.GetParameters().Length != 1 && getMimeMappingMethodInfo.GetParameters()[0].ParameterType != typeof(string))
throw new SystemException("GetMimeMapping method has invalid parameters");
}
public static string GetMimeType(string fileName)
{
lock (locker)
{
return (string)getMimeMappingMethodInfo.Invoke(null, new object[] { fileName });
}
}
}
#elif NET40
public static class MimeExtensionHelper
{
static object locker = new object();
static MethodInfo getMimeMappingMethodInfo;
static MimeExtensionHelper()
{
Type mimeMappingType = Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(HttpRuntime)).GetType("System.Web.MimeMapping");
if (mimeMappingType == null)
throw new SystemException("Couldnt find MimeMapping type");
getMimeMappingMethodInfo = mimeMappingType.GetMethod("GetMimeMapping", BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public);
if (getMimeMappingMethodInfo == null)
throw new SystemException("Couldnt find GetMimeMapping method");
if (getMimeMappingMethodInfo.ReturnType != typeof(string))
throw new SystemException("GetMimeMapping method has invalid return type");
if (getMimeMappingMethodInfo.GetParameters().Length != 1 && getMimeMappingMethodInfo.GetParameters()[0].ParameterType != typeof(string))
throw new SystemException("GetMimeMapping method has invalid parameters");
}
public static string GetMimeType(string fileName)
{
lock (locker)
{
return (string)getMimeMappingMethodInfo.Invoke(null, new object[] { fileName });
}
}
}
#else // .NET 4.5 or later
public static class MimeExtensionHelper
{
public static string GetMimeType(string fileName)
{
return MimeMapping.GetMimeMapping(fileName);
}
}
#endif
Also in the versions prior to .NET 4.5, the static MimeMapping class hosts an static instance called _mappingDictionary (of type MimeMapping.MimeMappingDictionaryBase) which you can request from Reflection in order to add new MIME-Types that may not yet be supported.

It is always not necessary that the mime type calculated by the extention of the file will be always right.
lets say i can save a file with .png extention but the fileformat i can set as "ImageFormat.jpeg".
So in this case the file which you will be calculating, will give a different result... it may result in big size file than the original.
If you are working with images then you can use the imagecodecInfo and ImageFormat.

Bryan Denny's post above is not working for me since not all extensions have a "Content Type" sub-key in the registry. I had to tweak the code as follows:
private string GetMimeType(string sFileName)
{
// Get file extension and if it is empty, return unknown
string sExt = Path.GetExtension(sFileName);
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(sExt)) return "Unknown file type";
// Default type is "EXT File"
string mimeType = string.Format("{0} File", sExt.ToUpper().Replace(".", ""));
// Open the registry key for the extension under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and return default if it doesn't exist
Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey regKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(sExt);
if (regKey == null) return mimeType;
// Get the "(Default)" value and re-open the key for that value
string sSubType = regKey.GetValue("").ToString();
regKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(sSubType);
// If it exists, get the "(Default)" value of the new key
if (regKey?.GetValue("") != null) mimeType = regKey.GetValue("").ToString();
// Return the value
return mimeType;
}
Now it works fine for me for all registered file types and un-registered or generic file types (like JPG, etc).

I have compiled a list of reputable sources for mime type and content type values that are keyed solely on file extension (currently).
The nuget package is here https://www.nuget.org/packages/FTTLib.dll/
and source is here https://github.com/brondavies/filetypetranslator/
This library is designed to have:
- No external dependencies
- No file system access
- Small memory footprint
- Simple static methods (no extension methods and no instantiatable classes)
- Case-insensitive
- Portable - works in applications targeting any CLR (.NET 2.0+)

would be better if someone can use similar features as in libmagic on linux, as that is what I guess a better way to detect types of files than relaying on the extension name of a file.
For example, if I rename a file from mypicture.jpg to mypicture.txt On linux, it will still be reported as a picture But using this methodology here, it will be reported as text file.

Code wise, each of the above links has a .csv file download: https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application.csv
As already pointed out here, a Dictionary or a ConcurrentDictionary, may be an idea for Download and Populate the Dictionary with Key Value pairs.

FileExtension handle the file extension and not the Mime. The user can change the file extension, so check the Mime. The codes examples associate Mime by file extension, this is wrong and does not work.
Need to get the contenttype file and check if the table Mime contetType this file according to the file extension. Now, how to get the ContentType of the file?
Using FileUpload is thus: FileUpload.PostedFile.ContentType;
Now if I already have the file, as caught your ContentType?

You can use MimeMappings class. I think this is the easiest way. I give import of MimeMappings too. because I felt lots of trouble to find import of those classes.
import org.springframework.boot.web.server.MimeMappings;
MimeMappings mm=new MimeMappings();
String mimetype = mm.get(fileExtension);
System.out.println(mimetype);
