I know I can limit the file types that can be uploaded via AllowedFileExtensions, however, all it does is ignore bad file types. Since I am only allowing one file at a time to be uploaded, it would be nice if I could issue a radalert or something when the try to upload a type that is not allowed.
Any ideas?
Thanks ... Ed

As per http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2803992&SiteID=1

Lookup "Winista" it uses binary analysis to determine a files MIME type...

Say someone renames a exe with a jpg extension... you can still determine the "real" file format.  It doesn't detect swf's or flv's but does pretty much every other well known format + you can get a hex editor and add more files it can detect.
